Lionel Newman

Lionel is a PhD student in the Cognitive Modeling research group at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, and received my master’s degree in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from the University of Amsterdam. His research contributes to the recent shift in social neuroscience away from investigating
single, isolated brains, and instead exploring brain, behavior, and society as an integrated system. He focuses on studying the role of top-down cognitive mechanisms on our ability to take perspectives with others in a way that allows us to develop a shared understanding of goals, beliefs, and social actions.
