Colin Palmer

Colin Palmer is an Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore. Holding a Ph.D. and B.BNSc. (Hons.) from Monash University, his research explores how the brain extracts social information from visual stimuli through approaches including visual psychophysics, computational modelling, and 3D-graphical rendering.

• Education: Ph.D., B.BNSc. (Hons.) from Monash University

His work focuses on:

• Visual perception mechanisms
• Face and gaze perception
• Biological motion analysis
• Sensory coding and social cognition
• Clinical applications in autism, schizophrenia, and face prosopagnosia

Recent publications highlight interdisciplinary research at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, and computational modeling. Key themes include animacy detection, eye contact perception, and social attention mechanisms.

He leads the Social Vision Lab, advancing mechanistic understanding of social perception through sensory processing studies.
