Lab members
Farid Pazhoohi, Ph.D.
Farid’s interdisciplinary research program focuses on the cognitive, social, and neural mechanisms of interpersonal perception, and how attention, perception, decision making, social cognition, and interpersonal interactions are influenced by appearance, aesthetics, and attractiveness. His work covers mate preferences, social cognition, and individual differences.
Chris Longmore, Ph.D.
Chris has a strong interest in all aspects of face recognition and processing; in particular, the processes behind how unfamiliar faces become familiar and the recognition and perception of faces in prosopagnosia. His current research projects include examining the ability of the face recognition system to generalize to novel viewpoints of a newly learned face and the ability to generalize across ages.
Mila Mileva, Ph.D.
Mila’s research is focused on person perception and recognition from faces and voices, and she is particularly interested in sampling natural variability and representing our everyday experiences of these processes. Her most recent line of research aims to explore how we form multimodal first impressions when meeting someone for the first time and how the information from different types of cues, such as someone’s face, voice, and even their first name, is integrated together when we make such judgments.
