Dr Janice Murray investigates the mechanisms that allow for successful face processing, including the role that attention plays. She helps lead a collaborative research programme investigating age-related changes in emotion perception and social understanding (the Otago Lifespan Development Research Group). This programme operates within the Department of Psychology. She additionally leads an Otago-based face perception project in collaboration with Daphne Maurer from McMaster University, Canada.
She has authored over 30 papers, and has given more than 40 research conference and seminar presentations at Otago and abroad. She is a regular reviewer for a number of top international journals and is in her fourth, three-year term as a member of the editorial board of Psychonomic Bulletin & Review.
Janice joined the Department in 1991. She has 23 years of university teaching experience, teaching at both the graduate and undergraduate levels at Otago and at Canadian universities.
