 r: Carolyn Parkinson\, Ph.D.\n\nUCLA Department of Psychology & Brain Rese
 arch Institute\n\nBio: Carolyn Parkinson is an Assistant Professor in the 
 Department of Psychology\, faculty at the Brain Research Institute\, and t
 he Wendell Jeffrey and Bernice Wenzel Term Endowed Chair in Cognitive Neur
 oscience at the University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\, where she 
 directs the UCLA Computational Social Neuroscience Lab. She obtained her B
 .Sc. in Psychology from 91ºÚÁÏÍø\, then obtained her Ph.D. in Cog
 nitive Neuroscience from Dartmouth College. Her research examines how the 
 human brain represents\, navigates\, and is shaped by the structure of its
  social environment by integrating theory and methods from cognitive neuro
 science\, machine learning\, social network analysis\, and social psycholo
 gy.\n\nAbstract: The cognitive demands of navigating large groups comprise
 d of many varied\, intense\, and enduring social bonds are thought to have
  significantly shaped human brain evolution. Yet\, much remains to be unde
 rstood about how individuals track\, encode\, and are influenced by the st
 ructure of the social networks that they inhabit. This talk will provide a
 n overview of recent work integrating theory and methods from social psych
 ology\, cognitive neuroscience\, and social network analysis\, as well as 
 the motivation for combining these lines of inquiry. One set of studies te
 sts if\, when\, and how people retrieve knowledge of familiar others’ posi
 tions in their real-world social networks when encountering them. Related 
 research tests how this knowledge\, once retrieved\, shapes downstream pro
 cessing and behavior. An additional set of studies tests if human social n
 etworks exhibit assortativity in how their members perceive\, interpret\, 
 and respond to their environment. Consistent with this possibility\, inter
 -individual similarities of neural responses to naturalistic stimuli accur
 ately predict the distance between individuals in their shared social netw
 ork\, such that friends have exceptionally similar responses to the world 
 around them. All human cognition is embedded within social networks\, but 
 research on information processing within individuals has progressed large
 ly separately from research on the social networks in which individuals ar
 e embedded. The set of findings to be reviewed in this talk suggests that 
 integrating approaches from social psychology\, neuroscience\, and social 
 network analysis can provide new insights into how individuals perceive\, 
 shape\, and are shaped by the structure of their social world.\n\n\nThe Fe
 indel Virtual Brain and Mind (VBM) Seminar Series will advance the vision 
 of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014)\, Former Director of the Neuro (1972–19
 84)\, to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks wil
 l highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology\, cogni
 tive neuroscience\, and neuroimaging.\n\nSpeakers will include scientists 
 from across The Neuro\, as well as colleagues and collaborators locally an
 d from around the world. The series is intended to provide a virtual forum
  for scientists and trainees to continue to foster interdisciplinary excha
 nges on the mechanisms\, diagnosis and treatment of brain and cognitive di
 sorders.\n
