Laura Globig

Laura Globig is a cognitive neuroscientist and postdoctoral researcher at New York University, funded by grants from Google, the Dana Foundation and the Roddenberry Foundation. She received her PhD from University College London and was a visiting scholar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Combining behavioral experiments, computational modeling, and neuroimaging, her research investigates how internal and external reward structures shape information-processing, belief-formation and decision-making. Her work at the Center bridges basic science and applied contexts, with a particular focus on uncovering the mechanisms through which AI systems and online platforms alter human behavior, and how these systems might be redesigned to promote more adaptive and constructive outcomes.
