| My research specialism is in embodied and social cognition. My two main current research streams are 1) The social consequences of coordination. How moving in time with each other in rhythmic ways leads to pro-group behavior. 2) The link between Autism, Anthropomorphism and Theory of Mind. How individuals with autism may have a penchant for anthropomorphism and this may ameliorate typical ToM differences. Aside from these I am also interested in social identity and social/embodied cognition more generally, in particular how online and virtual interactions may affect these things. |
