In my lab we explore how facial and body cues convey a considerable amount of information about an individual (e.g., sex and race category membership, the degree of gender typicality, and sexual orientation) and how these basic perceptions subsequently impact evaluative social judgments. We use a variety of methods including computer generated animations, corneal reflection eye-tracking, facial electromyography, and motion capture/analysis. Selected Publications: Johnson, K.
