The Evolution and Social Interaction Cluster aims to use social, behavioural and evolutionary theory to approach human perception and behaviour, and to understand perception and behaviour within social settings. It unites researchers from three distinct research groups, the Perception, Evolution, and Behaviour group, the Social Research group, and the Forensic Research group, along with the Psychology and Communication Technology PaCT Lab specialist laboratory.
