معرفی
Laura Manno is a Lecturer in Psychology at the School of Psychology, University of East Anglia (UEA), actively contributing to research in cognitive and clinical psychology. She is involved in two major research projects focusing on attention rehabilitation and reasoning with stereotypes, demonstrating her interdisciplinary engagement.
Research Interests:
Laura Manno's research centers on cognitive processes underlying face and emotion perception, attention mechanisms, and their applications in clinical contexts, particularly for individuals with acquired brain injury. Her work bridges experimental psychology and computational modeling, aiming to understand how humans and machines differ in categorizing facial identity and emotional expressions.
Publication Trends:
Her recent publications explore how variations in sex and identity affect face categorization, and how emotional and semantic similarities are perceived across facial expressions. These studies combine human behavioral experiments with computational approaches, reflecting a trend toward integrative cognitive science and digital health innovation.
