David Perrett studies how we recognise facial attributes and understand actions of others.
Current projects include the nature of cues in the face to attractiveness and health; the
impact of life stresses, parental relationships and development across puberty on appearance and mate choice
in adulthood; attraction to voice and to pheromones; decoding emotional expression and
deception; sharing of attention; and the use of computer graphics to enhance recognition.
David Perrett received the British Psychological Society President's Award (2000), the Golden Brain Award (2002), the Experimental Psychology Society Mid-Career prize (2008) and a British Academy Wolfson Research Professorship (2009-2012).
