Omega Psi hosts a cognitive science conference every year in the Spring as a platform for for undergraduate cognitive science researchers to present their work while learning from our plenary speakers and each other. Details on this year's conference are forthcoming: https://jhu.campusgroups.com/omegapsi/new-2024-conference/.
It is our pleasure to announce Woo Jin Choi as this year's 2024 Glushko Outstanding Undergraduate Cognitive Science Prize recipient! Woo Jin will give a talk on "Questions Under (natural) Discussion." Read more about Woo Jin here in our news announcement.
Hierarchical computations of social interaction perception in the human visual system
Innate neural scaffolds for mental function Abstract: What determines the landscape of functional specialization in the human brain? I’ll present experiments that investigate how neural processors for uniquely human skills emerge in development, focusing specifically on written language for this talk. First, I'll demonstrate how a pre-reader’s brain connectivity scan can pinpoint exactly where that […]
