Perception Current research in perception includeswork on the recognition of objects and actions, and in visual psychophysics.


Dr Peter Földíak (pf2) – Computational (e.g. neural network) approaches to modelling cortical function, especially vision, pattern recognition and semantic memory.


Professor Julie Harris (jh81) – Visual perception using psychophysical and visuo-motor measures to study: binocular vision, gaze patterns when viewing natural images and three-dimensional objects, three-dimensional motion perception, heading perception.


Dr Paul Hibbard (pbh2) – Visual perception: in particular the perception of three-dimensional shape and motion. Currently: statistical properties of binocular disparity, biases in our perception of three-dimensional space, and the use of visual information in the control of action.


Dr Michael Oram (mwo) – Constraining models of visual processing using the relationship between different aspects of neural activity – the‘neural code’– and the input stimulus.


Professor David Perrett (dp) – Perception of faces, objects, action intention and emotion. Mate selection and attraction to facial characteristics. The role of development, family, hormones and evolution in shaping faces, preferences and sexual strategies. Cross-modal integration, behavioural and neural processing of faces, social signals, and expectations in natural sequences of images.


Dr Dhanraj Vishwanath (dv10) – 3D visual cognition, visuomotor control, eye movement, visual displays.


Applied, Clinical & Health Psychology


Dr Arlene Astell (aja3) – Psychology of dementia focusing on the impact of dementia on communication, social and emotional behaviour.


Dr Martin Campbell (mc1) – Cognitive representations of challenging behaviour in staff, and howthis impacts on the quality of care that people with disabilities experience.


Dr Reiner Sprengelmeyer (rhs3) – Clinical and cognitive human neuropsychology (deficits associated with basal ganglia disorders) and neuropsychiatry (neuropsychiatric disorders).
