The EPPAC lab are a group of experimental psychologists interested in how we process human, faces, voice, and bodies (person perception), from a theoretical and applied perspective, with applications of cognitive and evolutionary theory. We are also interested in cognition and human psychology more generally. Have a look at our individual bios (LAB MEMBERS) for more information about who we are are what we are currently up to.

Meet the Lab members, present and past.   

A collection of useful resources - stimuli, software, blogs and other stuff too.

The Person Perception Research group are a collection of psychologists interested in how we process (perceive, remember, and interact with) human faces, voice, and bodies (person perception), from a theoretical and applied perspective, with applications of social, cognitive and evolutionary theory.

ASSOCIATED LABS at NTU

Perception, Attention and Memory Group (PAM) : Our work includes theoretical work exploring time perception, attentional capture and control, spatial and temporal aspects of attention and the influence of statistical learning and implicit learning on attention

Our aim is to further our understanding of human and non-human animal social interaction and how and why these behaviours have been moulded by evolution.

The Animal Facial Action Coding System is an observational scientific tool, allowing for an objective measurement of facial movement in non-human animals, allowing for the analysis of facial behaviour in animals.

Hearing Research at NTU undertake research into the psychological, biological and computational basis of hearing, and hearing impairment. This includes how we perceive and process sound, and how this is affected by factors such as hearing impairment, cognition, age, cochlear implants, and other sensory information.

The Affect, Personality and the Embodied Brain (APE) Research Group investigate cognitive and affective traits that influence our behaviour with particular regard to their biological underpinnings and application to understanding psychopathology.
