Research interests
My research interests concern the visual perception of other people's behaviour, and how we are able to predict what they will do based on what we know of their goals and intentions. I am also interested in how this ability may differ in people with autism or schizophrenia. In addition I have conducted research into the neural mechanisms of fear by having people watch a horror movie in an fMRI scanner. I have a growing interest in the social and neural mechanisms of social emotions, such as vicarious embarrassment, and why they are so popular on social media. I would be keen to hear from any potential students who wish to study these topics.
