Colin Palmer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the National University of Singapore. He holds a Ph.D. from Monash University and a B.BNSc. (Hons.) from the same institution. His research primarily focuses on visual perception, exploring how information is processed in the brain, particularly cases related to sensory social difficulties like autism and schizophrenia. Palmer's work leverages visual psychophysics and computational modeling to uncover the mechanisms by which the visual system extracts essential elements from the environment, such as color, shape, and motion. His clinical application of research aims to provide insight into systematic differences in sensory processing and how these contributions affect social experiences. He is particularly interested in areas such as face perception, gaze perception, and sensory coding. Recent publications include studies on face pareidolia, lightness constancy perception, and gaze behavior in relation to animacy cues.
