A senior psychology professor at UW, Philip Bryden, died Sunday of a heart attack while attending a conference in Montreal. He was 62.
A professor at UW since 1963, Bryden was best known for research on the relation between cognitive functioning and the lateralization of functions in the human brain. In other words, the distinction between what occurs in the left half of the brain and th e right half.
His work has led to many research papers and was summarized in his book Laterality.
"A distinguished psychologist with an international reputation, Phil was also a devoted teacher and mentor," said Prof. Michael Ross, chair of psychology. "He had a passion for psychology and loved his work. This is a devastating personal loss for all of us."
Visitation will be held Wednesday at the Edward R. Good Funeral Home, 171 King St. S., in Waterloo, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. A service will be held at Conrad Grebel College's Chapel Thursday at 2 p.m.
Bryden has been editor-in-chief of the Canadian Journal of Psychology, as well as chair of the experimental division of the Canadian Psychological Association.
He has received the Donald O. Hebb Award for Distinguished Contributions to Psychology as a Science from the Canadian Psychological Association.
In recognition of his academic and scholarly achievements, Bryden was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1992.
Bryden leaves behind his wife Pat Rowe, Dean of Graduate Studies at UW and a psychology professor, and their children, Pam and Penny.
He is the third UW professor of psychology to die this year. Prof. Ken Bowers, who had just gone on early retirement, died July 4 at the age of 58, and Prof. Donald Amoroso, a retiree, died March 17, aged 69.

Starting in September, visitors to UW will encounter a new parking system at lots H, B1 and M.
As of Sept. 3, visitors will be required to deposit $10 on entry into any of these lots, says Elaine Koolstra, manager of parking services. The $10 deposit is equivalent to the maximum daily charge at these lots where the hourly rate is $2.
Upon leaving, the kiosk operator will refund a portion of the parking charge or, if the maximum has been reached, issue a receipt.
If a visitor comes in around noon or later, the deposit charge will decrease according to the maximum possible based on the hours remaining until 4 p.m., the time at which the lot will convert to a straight $2-per-entry fee.
If one of the UW departments is paying for the visitor's parking, simply have the parking printout validated and the deposit will be refunded.
Also, Koolstra says the lots will have machines that will accept Mastercard, VISA and Interact cards for anyone wanting to pay by credit or debit card.
These are changes from the existing system of paying as you leave a lot. Koolstra says the university was losing a lot of revenue because many people were staying later than the kiosk attendant, and then choosing to ignore the envelope placed on the winds hield asking them to drive to the security office to pay the accumulated parking charge.
In another change, Koolstra says the parking office will have changed hours of operation. Monday to Friday hours are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday hours will be 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
