I investigate the temporal dynamics of cognitive processes involved in the perception and recognition of face identity, facial expressions of emotion, gaze discrimination and their interactions, and how these processes relate more broadly to social cognition and individual traits. I am particularly interested in the central role of eyes in these processes, at the behavioural and neural levels. This includes understanding how the information contained in the eye region influences early perceptual stages, as well as higher level face recognition and facial expression discrimination processes. I also investigate how gaze direction interacts with facial expressions to orient attention in the environment.
