I study the neural basis of social intelligence and face perception in humans and other animals.
Director of the BrisBRAIN Lab at the University of Queensland in BrisBANE Australia.
🧠📣 New deadline! Submissions to our Scientific Reports special issue on Face Recognition & Prosopagnosia are now open until July 26, 2025.

We're looking for cutting-edge work on the neural and cognitive basis of face perception—both typical and impaired.

Our latest study in JEPHPP explores how we detect #facepareidolia under different task demands. Results like these keep providing clues that we are equipped to build multiple representations in parallel to flexibly support a diverse range of behavioural goals.

Here, Koyano et al. show that 🐒 neurons in certain face patches barely react to pareidolia (illusory faces in objects).

To those who have argued that the brain "obviously" processes stimuli that look like faces as faces—it's not that simple.
