Peter Eugene Clayson, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of South Florida. Dr. Clayson is a leading expert in the field of clinical psychophysiology, earning widespread acclaim for his contributions to the measurement and psychometric evaluation of psychophysiological signals, particularly event-related potentials (i.e., brain waves). In 2022, Dr. Clayson was awarded a highly competitive five-year, $2.9 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to optimize paradigms for studying the relationships between psychophysiological signals and mental illness. His work will guide the evaluation of biomarkers of mental illness through high-quality psychometrics to pave the way for the better selection of biomarkers and the development of innovative tasks, ultimately improving the clinical utility of these biomarkers. Dr. Claysons achievements have been recognized with multiple honors, including the Award for Distinguished Contributions to Psychophysiology from the Society for Psychophysiological Research (2023) and the American Psychological Association Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contributions to Psychology in the area of individual differences (2025). He has published more than 70 peer-reviewed articles, given over 100 conference presentations, and serves as an associate editor at theInternational Journal of Psychophysiology and at Psychophysiology,and he was elected to serve on the Board of Directors of the International Organization of Psychophysiology. His exceptional accomplishments placed him among the top 2% of the most cited scientists globally every year since 2021 (Stanford University World Top 2% Scientists List). Dr. Claysons work has made a significant impact on the field of psychophysiology and has offered evidence to mobilize the field to evaluate neural measurements psychometrically in healthy and clinical populations. His work has broad implications for all fields of psychology that pursue an individual differences approach.
