The Person Perception Group are a collection of psychologists interested in how we process (perceive, remember, and interact with) human faces, voice, and bodies (person perception), from a theoretical and applied perspective, with applications of social, cognitive and evolutionary theory. The group are affiliated with the EPPAC lab who provide links to useful person perception resources. Follow them on Twitter.
