The Richard Gilson Lecture Fund supports the Richard Gilson Innovation in Multimodal Information Processing (MIP) Distinguished Lecture Series, an annual event hosted by the Human Factors and Cognitive Psychology Program. Established through donor support, the fund honors Richard Gilson, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of Central Florida, and his contributions to the study of human perception and cognition. The lecture series brings internationally recognized scholars to UCF to share research and insights on how humans process and integrate information across the senses. The inaugural lecture, held on April 3, 2026, features Charles Spence, Professor of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, presenting “Connecting the senses across time and space: Crossmodal correspondences in science, art, & design.”
