Tobiasz Trawinski

Lecturer in psychology, Liverpool Hope University

Tobiasz is a lecturer at Liverpool Hope University. His research program aims to understand how the human brain perceives the visual world, and how perception is influenced by experience and learning. He studies this question by examining how visual and conceptual knowledge interacts to influence our representations of objects, faces, and scenes. Tobiasz's current research projects explore the mechanisms underlying the role of socio-cognitive factors in the perception of other-race faces. Moreover, he is also interested in understanding the impact of individual and cross-cultural differences on aesthetic experience. The techniques he uses include a combination of behavioural, eye tracking, and statistical methods. Tobiasz holds a PhD in Psychology from the University of Southampton. Before joining Liverpool Hope University, he did postdoctoral research at New York University in Abu Dhabi.
