The COVID-19 pandemic has illuminated how conspiracy beliefs–that explain important events as the secret actions of the powerful–can severely impact health choices (such as reduced infection-prevention behaviours). However, the consequences of conspi... Read More about Shining a spotlight on the dangerous consequences of conspiracy theories.

A PCA-Based Active Appearance Model for Characterising Modes of Spatiotemporal Variation in Dynamic Facial Behaviours (2022)
Journal Article
