We are looking for talented and enthusiastic international students to join our research
team in the Person Perception Program at the Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its
Disorders (
http://www.ccd.edu.au<http://www.ccd.edu.au/>)/>).
The Research:
- We aim to understand the mechanisms (perceptual, cognitive, neural and evolutionary) of
person perception and how they relate to other cognitive abilities and social
functioning.
- As well as investigating person perception in typical adults, we also study how these
skills emerge during typical development and whether these skills are impaired in children
and adults with disorders of person perception (e.g., autism, developmental
prosopagnosia).
- Methods include behavioural, eye-tracking, SCR, EEG and potentially tDCS.
