معرفی
Dr. John Towler is a Lecturer in Psychology at Swansea University's School of Psychology within the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Science. His research focuses on cognitive neuroscience and experimental psychology, particularly examining face perception and recognition deficits in individuals with prosopagnosia (face blindness). He employs EEG and behavioral techniques, with expanding interests in MRI and conditions like autism and dyslexia.
Teaching & Research: Dr. Towler teaches modules on experimental design (EEG methods), individual differences, and social cognitive neuroscience. His research explores neural mechanisms underlying face processing impairments, including holistic perception deficits and statistical learning challenges in developmental prosopagnosia.
Publications: His work highlights impaired face feature discrimination and visual memory in prosopagnosia, alongside studies on aging effects on face-trait judgements. Collaborations include institutions like Birkbeck, University of London, and Université Catholique de Louvain.
Labs & Engagement: His research group operates at Swansea's Face Research Lab (website), focusing on neuroscientific approaches to social cognition and perceptual disorders.
