Plenary Speakers

Steve Chang is an Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Yale University, and a member of both the Wu Tsai Institute and the Kavli Institute for Neuroscience. He serves as co-Director of Yale’s Interdepartmental Neuroscience PhD Program and co-Director of the undergraduate major in Neuroscience. His research program aims to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying social behavior and to reveal insights into how these processes may go awry in disorders marked by social dysfunction. His laboratory employs high-density electrophysiological recordings across multiple brain regions during real-life social interactions to reveal the neural codes, computations, and network-level dynamics that support naturalistic social behavior and cognition.
