Welcome to Prosopagnosia Research

Dr Sarah Bate, Bournemouth University, United Kingdom

I am a lecturer in Psychology from Bournemouth University with a primary interest in face recognition, and in particular, disorders of face recognition. I completed my PhD at the University of Exeter in 2009, examining the presentation of face processing impairments in indviduals with prosopagnosia ('face-blindness'). I am continuing this programme of research in my new appointment at Bournemouth University, and am collaborating with other academics across the UK and the USA on various investigations into prosopagnosia.

This website provides you with information about prosopagnosia and the opportunity to participate in some on-line discussion forums. You can also read about research that is currently being carried out in my laboratory, and you can register your interest in taking part in our research. We are particularly interested in hearing from anyone who believes they have prosopagnosia, who is willing to travel to Bournemouth University to participate in our current work.
