Biography

Mark Edwards is an academic whose research interests encompass visual cognition, attentional control, and cognitive empathy. He focuses on the implications of attentional control in everyday functioning, particularly how it varies across different groups, such as individuals with high psychopathy. His work explores the cognitive processes underlying empathy, including both cognitive and affective measurements, and the temporal dynamics of attention and their impact on neural channels. Edwards earned his PhD in Psychology from the University of Melbourne, investigating visual pathways and motion systems. He has collaborated on numerous research projects, assessing cognitive predictors of crash risk among provisional drivers and older adults, and has studied human motion perception and face-space processing.
