Brad Duchaine
Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences
My lab uses neuropsychology, psychophysics, and neuroimaging to explore the cognitive, neural, developmental, and genetic basis of social perception. Much of our work focuses on prosopagnosia, a condition defined by severe face recognition deficits, and prosopometamorphopsia, a condition characterized by face perception distortions.
