Research: Interplay between social and cognitive processes. The social hierarchy defined by power, status or membership in a minority or majority group affects attentional control and the individual's mindset, and how this in turn affects the ways individuals pursue goals (e.g.performance). Research into mood; social hierarchy; behaviour variability; motivation, cognition and behaviour. |

Tali Sharot |
Research: I am interested in how motivation and emotion shape human judgment, memory and action. I use a combination of techniques including behavioural, computational, pharmacological, neuropsychiatric, and brain imaging methods to elucidate the underlying processes on three levels: behaviour, neural systems and neurotransmitters. |
|
|
Sam Schwarzkopf |
Research: My research investigates how our subjective experience of the world arises in the brain. In particular, I study how variability in the architecture of sensory cortex relates to perceptual function. |
|
|
Samuel Solomon |
