Networks and cognition workshop

June 1-2, 2023

PSH/PNI A32 Lecture hall

The relationship between individual cognition and social networks has taken on new urgency across multiple scientific communities.


On one hand, as the cognitive and social sciences continue to be revolutionized by big data and large-scale computational models, psychologists are increasingly grappling with the complexity of real-world network topologies and the emergent dynamics of collectives.


At the same time, as engineers and computer scientists develop increasingly sophisticated models and algorithms for scalable multi-agent systems, they must grapple with the complexity of individual behavior in regimes where simplifying assumptions break down.


This workshop aims to bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers to bridge this gap.
