Sarah’s research concentrates on facial recognition, with a particular focus on ‘face blindness’ (prosopagnosia), a condition where individuals have severe difficulties in face recognition. She is currently developing new diagnostic techniques and rehabilitative programmes that can assist adults and children
with the condition.
In addition she is interested in superior face recognition skills, and is working with the police to develop a means of identifying officers with an exceptional ability to recognise faces.
Sarah has filmed documentaries for Inside Out and CBBC and her work has also featured in the New Scientist and numerous national and international outlets such as The Guardian and The Daily Mail.
