Human faces are unique biological structures which convey a complex variety of important social messages.
Even strangers can tell things from our faces - our feelings, our locus of attention, something of what we are saying, our age, sex, and ethnic group, whether they find us attractive.
In recent years there has been genuine progress in understanding how our brains derive all these different messages from faces and what can happen when one or other of the structures involved is damaged. Face Perception is an up-to-date, integrative summary by two influential authors who have helped shape the field over the past 30 years.
This book offers a distinctive perspective on face perception through a compelling synthesis of behavioural, neuropsychological, and cognitive neuroscience approaches.
Vicki Bruce has taught and researched aspects of visual perception, particularly face perception, since completing her PhD in 1977. Vicki has held chairs in psychology at the universities of Nottingham, Stirling, Edinburgh and Newcastle.
Andy Young has more than 35 years of experience researching different aspects of face perception. He has held posts at the universities of Aberdeen, Lancaster, Durham and York, and with the Medical Research Council.
The authors' seminal paper on the theoretical framework for the field of face recognition was published in the British Journal of Psychology in 1986. A special issue of the British Journal of Psychology, entitled Person Perception 25 Years After Bruce and Young (1986), is due to be published in 2011.
The authors were awarded the 2001 BPS Book Award for their work on face perception.
