Claire Conway (2008, PhD) Cue integration in face processing

I completed my PhD in the Face Research Lab in 2008. My research investigated how people integrate information from different facial cues, such as gaze direction, physical attractiveness and emotional expressions, when making social judgments. When I left the Face Research Lab I had published five first-authored papers and I am currently at Oxford University.
