The Social Interaction & Neural Computation Laboratory (PI: Shawn Rhoads) investigates the neurocomputational processes that shape how humans connect and interact. We combine computational modeling, functional neuroimaging (fMRI), and intracranial electrophysiology to uncover how the brain represents and responds to social information across multiple timescales and contexts. We are particularly interested in how these processes vary across individuals and are modulated by emotional states, mental health, interpersonal dynamics, and broader societal structures.
