Research Intrest

Social neuroscience and how our interactions and perceptions of others shaped by facial social cues of another individual – how we can understand more about social behaviour using neuroscience methods. How do we use these social cues to infer mental states, predict behaviour, detect personality traits and even guide our own future behaviour towards others? Additionally how do hormonal fluctuations influence our perception of these social cues also interested in the role of emotion on cognitive control; how our mood state might influence executive functions such as inhibitory control and attention. Finally, more specific aspects of oculomotor control such as ‘express saccades’ and ‘express saccade makers’ and population differences in saccade behaviour – particularly between Chinese and Caucasian populations.
