Podcast 12: Recognising faces and voices - a podcast by HRW Shift Behavioural Science Consultancy

Human faces and voices are amongst the most information rich things our brains can process, giving us clues about who is communicating with us, what they are saying and how they are feeling. In this podcast, our in-house experts Lea Couchman and Iona Gillies tell us all about how our brains process and recognise faces and voices.
