I'm deeply honored to receive one of this year's CogSci Society Glushko Dissertation Prizes.

While I'm still in a state of disbelief about the award, what I can say in no uncertain terms, is that developing these ideas with Rebecca Saxe has been immensely formative and rewarding.

Jisu's presentation on computational modeling for predicting valence in social interactions is coming up.
Please come by to learn more at P3-F-54 - 'Predicting Others’ Internal States within Naturalistic Social Interactions.' 🏄‍♀️

That's it for MIND '23! Thanks to this awesome group of scholars for coming to Methods in Neuroscience at Dartmouth (MIND) at Dartmouth Psychological and Brain Sciences to learn & share methods for studying Interacting Minds! And for those who couldn't come, stay tuned: we will be releasing the tutorials from this year in a Jupyter book!

#SANS2024 Symposium 4: Neural, Network, and Neural Network Approaches for Social Relational Representation, moderated by Eshin Jolly and Jae-Young Son, starting now!

First up, Eshin Jolly discusses research using the CosanLab Friday Night Lights fMRI dataset to study how relationships between characters shape how we represent and remember them.

The sold-out #SANS2024 Computational Preconference kicks off! Featuring hands-on workshops on reinforcement learning, neural decoding, and automated facial expression analysis led by Leor Hackel, Philip Kragel, and Eshin Jolly, respectively.

Check out our new preprint with CosanLab
(lead: Eshin Jolly)! Our results from a movie watching social memory task suggest that we naturally represent and remember people by their connections with others 🧑‍🤝‍🧑🧑👪💕

Congratulations to Emma Templeton co-advised by Thalia Wheatley for successfully defending her dissertation at Dartmouth Psychological and Brain Sciences, 'What makes conversation good? How responsivity, topics, and insider language predict feelings of connection'

Society for Affective Science Rebecca Saxe I'm beyond grateful to Rebecca Saxe and Josh Tenenbaum CoCoSci MIT for helping me develop a research program that I'm excited to continue past my PhD. The topic only gets more interesting each year.
And thanks to McGovern Institute, CBMM and MIT Brain and Cognitive Sciences for supporting my work
