Lúcia's research areas include cognitive neuroscience, visual perception, and social perception. More specifically, Lúcia's research attempts to shed light on the perceptual mechanisms that we use in our social interactions. She is interested in how we use information from faces and voices to recognise who someone is, to infer their emotional and mental states, and to decide how we should act towards them. Lúcia uses behavioural and neuroimaging methods to investigate these questions.
