Humans are highly social animals. We are able to infer other's minds fairly accurately and empathize with what they are feeling. On the other hand, we are often influenced by various stereotypes and prejudices and feel jealous of others. Our lab aims (1) to use a brain imaging method called fMRI to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying human social cognition, and (2) to use social psychology techniques to investigate the psychological mechanisms underlying various social phenomenon.
