The Social Vision & Mind Lab (Director: Youngki Hong, Ph.D.) at the University of Colorado Boulder explores how people perceive and make sense of the physical and social worlds. We take interdisciplinary approaches to study the intersection of social cognition, visual perception, and human behavior, using theories and methods from social psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and artificial intelligence. Based in the beautiful city of Boulder, Colorado, our lab offers opportunities to get involved in a collaborative research environment. Learn more about our current projects and how to get involved.
