research overview |
<p>I research in applied cognitive/forensic psychology, mostly on face perception
and recognition, eyewitness memory and suspect identification. Specific projects include
the introduction of<a href="http://www.viper.police.uk/" rel="nofollow">VIPER video
identification parade system</a>working with the West Yorkshire Police, and an evaluation
of PCA-based facial composite construction software, the EFIT-V system, with<a href="http://www.visionmetric.co.uk/"

policy implications and/or aims to improve police investigations.</p><p>I am a founding
member of the<a href="http://www.open.ac.uk/icccr/">International Centre for Comparative
