I'm a research psychologist and neuroscientist. I also compose and perform experimental music.

My past work has shown why music and movement are connected:

And how consensus-building conversation aligns our brains: https://psyarxiv.com/562z7

Now I'm working on conversation and social networks at Stanford with Jamil Zaki and writing a paper about why compositional generalization is hard with Josh Greene.

@beausievers Stoked to hear about your paper on compositional generalization!! Are you focusing on language or composition more generally?

@Jess Compositionality more generally! The paper is almost done; scaling up some simulations and then we're in the first-complete-draft-zone. Coauthor David Kant!
