Glen has over 20 years’ experience in psychology and using software to create experiments for research with staff and students. She also has over 12 years’ experience in curriculum design and creating course materials and content. Over the years she has taught various software packages to students, including PsychoPy Builder, E-Prime, jamovi, JASP, SPSS, Excel and more.	Letizia's research focuses on visual preference and aesthetics, examining the interplay between perceptual, emotional and cognitive processes on preference for object properties (i.e. smooth curvature, symmetry, complexity) interior design and artworks by considering individual differences, personality and expertise. She has extensive experience with PsychoPy and other experiment generating software programs.	Tobiasz is a lecturer at Liverpool Hope University. His research aims to understand how the human brain perceives the visual world, and how perception is influenced by experience and learning. He studies this question by examining how visual and conceptual knowledge interacts to influence our representations of objects, faces, and scenes. The techniques he uses include a combination of behavioural, eye tracking, and statistical methods.
