Doctor Ivan Mikhaylovich Sechenov (Russian: Ива́н Миха́йлович Се́ченов; August 13 [O.S. August 1] 1829 – November 15 [O.S. November 2] 1905), was a Russian psychologist, physiologist, and medical scientist.

The very famous Russian scientist of human reflexes Pavlov referred to him as the "Father of Russian physiology and scientific psychology" at his time, but today we rather consider Sechenov as scientist in medical physiology, and father of Russian physiology and also researcher in psychology, but also in relation to it in neurological physiology. Sechenov is also considered one of the originators of objective psychology as an attempt to introduce objectiveness in the rather wide Russian psychology field and the many developments in it.
