Welcome to the Person and Space Perception Lab!
We are interested in understanding how people represent and interact with the surrounding environment: the space we move around and the people we see. Our research on spatial navigation investigates how people perceive, represent, and navigate in space, whereas our studies of face processing address how people remember, recognise and interact with other people.
Our two lines of research share the same goal: Revealing how social and spatial information is encoded in mind and brain and how we use the social and spatial information to guide our interaction with the world, such as recognising the people we know very well already or navigating spaces we have never been before.

Currently, our work is supported by Research grants from the School of Psychology in UEA and the Royal Society.
Our lab always welcomes new members to join us. If you are interested in gaining some research experience with face processing or spatial navigation or if you would like to discuss a potential Masters or PhD project along these directions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
