Welcome to the Person and Space Perception Lab at the University of East Anglia
We study how people remember and interact with the surrounding environment: the space we move around and the people we see. Our research on spatial cognition and navigation investigates how people perceive, represent, and navigate in space, whereas our studies about face perception and recognition address how people recognize, understand, and interact with other people.
Our two lines of research share the same goal: Revealing how social and spatial information is encoded in our memory and how we use these memories to guide our everyday interaction with the world (e.g., recognizing faces or navigating between places).

We are looking for students to join us. If you are interested in gaining some research experience with face processing or human navigation or if you would like to discuss potential Master or PhD project along these directions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
