He earned his degree in Cognitive Neuroscience from Carnegie Mellon University and the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition. He is interested in the basic cognitive and brain mechanisms involved in social cognition and how those mechanisms carry out the complex information processing required for social perception and real-time face-to-face interactions. The aim is to develop explicit models of neural functioning that offer a better understanding of typical and atypical development. Jonathan Bornstein - postgraduate associate
