Prof. David Perrett
 
  Head and shoulders shot of Prof. David Perrett.  

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 childhood, parental relationships and development across puberty on mate choice in adulthood; attraction to voice and to pheromones; decoding emotional expression and deception; sharing of attention; the role of expectations and cross modal integration in understanding actions; and the use of computer graphics to enhance recognition.

David Perrett received the British Psychological Society President's Award (2000) and the Golden Brain Award (2002).
