Cognitive scientist Barbara Sarnecka leads study on how children understand number concepts; findings may lead to better methods for teaching math
Using fMRI, cognitive scientist Emily Grossman studies how we learn by observing actions of others; findings help researchers understand how brain areas communicate with one another, helps treat those with brain abnormalities
Cognitive scientist Michael Lee develops mathematical and computational models to do your thinking for you; models provide insight on best possible decision when too much – or too little – information is available; used in oil, defense and tech industries
Cognitive scientist uses mathematical and computational models to make machines “more human-like” in their thought processes, retrieving not only what they are told, but also what is inferred; technology has implications for defense and tech industry
