Roxane Itier is an Associate Professor at the University of Waterloo, where she leads the Cognitive Neuroscience Research Area. Her research focuses on cognitive social neuroscience, specifically investigating the temporal dynamics of cognitive processes involved in the perception and recognition of faces, including identity, facial expressions, and emotion. Itier is particularly interested in the role of eye movements and how they influence early perceptual processes and higher-level face recognition. Her research also explores how gaze direction interacts with facial expressions to orient attention in the environment. Furthermore, Itier studies the cognitive abilities tied to brain networks that develop throughout the lifespan and how these are affected by pathologies such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Her program integrates behavioral testing with EEG/ERP and eye tracking methodologies, contributing to a deeper understanding of social cognition.
