Biography

Colin Palmer is a Visiting Fellow at the Science School of Psychology at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). He has a Ph.D. from Monash University, completed in 2016, where his research focused on neurocognitive models related to sensory processing and social cognition, particularly in the context of autism. Palmer's research interests include visual perception, sensory processing, face perception, computational psychiatry, and autism. His projects often explore how the visual system interprets social cues, such as gaze direction and facial features, and how these processes are affected in individuals with conditions like autism and schizophrenia. He has published numerous articles on topics ranging from the mechanisms of social attention to the effects of dynamic visual cues on perception. Palmer also teaches undergraduate courses on vision and the brain, and he is available to supervise research students. Throughout his career, he has been awarded several grants and honors, including the ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award, and has been involved in collaborative projects both in Australia and the UK.
