Research

In the Socail Brain Science Group, we focus on how our prior experiences, expectations and learning (embodied or otherwise) shape how we see agents (human or artificial) we encounter in a social world. We explore theories from psychology, empirical aesthetics, cognitive science, and human—technology interaction using research tools ranging from brain scanners and eye trackers to computer animation and robots. As such, our research activities are resolutely interdisciplinary. To learn more about who we are and what we are up to, please explore our site!
