Avisha's research focuses on how people make decisions in social contexts, how they infer others' goals and intentions, and how these inferences structure memory for events.

She uses naturalistic stimuli, interactive tasks, and behavioral methods to study the cognitive processes underlying social perception and memory.

William studies the cognitive neuroscience of value-based and economic decision-making.

He is interested in understanding the neural and cognitive processes involved in learning and assigning value, and how these mechanisms influence human decisions.

Eric is interested in memory-guided decision-making, specifically how episodic memory systems interact with emotional responses and prediction mechanisms, and how these memories are later used to support social inference.

Daphne is interested in how the brain processes unexpected uncertainty and how changes in our mental models of other people shape the organization of memory and guide future social behavior and decision-making. She is also interested in the interaction of artificial intelligence and human cognition, particularly how computational and AI-based approaches can help us understand how people learn, update, and represent their social world.

Sarita is interested in how and why we remember certain events, and how events are remembered in time. She studies memory order and organization using real-world experiments.

Fan is interested in how surprising experiences shape learning and memory. Her current research uses behavioral and neuroimaging methods to investigate how prediction errors and environmental uncertainty influence memory, focusing on the neural interactions that support successful memory formation.

Julia's research interest bridges computational modeling and clinical science, specifically centering on belief updating and memory dynamics in uncertain environments.

Onder Pamukcu is an undergraduate student majoring in psychology at the University of Southern California. His research interests include memory, decision-making, and clinical psychology, particularly how past experiences shape behavior and mental health. He hopes to pursue graduate training in clinical psychology and eventually combine research with direct clinical work.
