Research interests

My research concerns non-conscious recognition of famous faces. I have investigated how emotional reactions to famous persons influence behavioural responses to faces perceived without awareness, with particular reference to attentional orientation and explicit familiarity detection. I have also studied the retrieval of semantic information. My general interests include subliminal perception and consciousness.

My current project is an EEG investigation of the neural correlates of perceiving famous faces without awareness.
