Perceptual Development Lab
Department of Psychology, Niigata University
👶Welcome to Megumi Kobayashi's Lab👶
In the Perceptual Development Lab at Niigata University, we investigate visual development from infancy to adolescence through psychological experiments.
Currently, our main research areas are face and body perception, person recognition, etc. We have just started a research project about the development of visual perception in late preterm infants and its relationship to developmental risk.
We welcome new Ph.D. students and post-docs. Please contact us if you are interested in the development of visual perception!!
