This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (SPRF) award of $160,000 supports an early career scientist at Johns Hopkins University to investigate the neural basis of social influence perception. Over the 2-year project period from August 2024 to July 2026, the research will utilize behavioral and neuroimaging methods to examine how the brain processes physical and social concepts related to events involving pushing, pulling, helping, and hindering. The goal is to advance understanding of the relationship between physical and social cognition and inform applications that leverage connections between the two domains. The project does not include any sub-awards.
