Biography

Diana Tamir is a professor in the Department of Psychology at Princeton University. Her research focuses on the cognitive processes and behaviors that occur at the intersection of the internal mental world and the external social world. Through the Princeton Social Neuroscience Lab, Tamir employs methods such as functional neuroimaging and machine learning to gain empirical insights into questions about self-perception and social behavior. Her ongoing research includes questions about how the mind transcends the immediate experience to predict future feelings and actions, the impact of reading fiction on understanding others' minds, and the social and cognitive consequences of self-disclosure in the age of the internet. Tamir's work bridges the gap between social psychology and neuroscience, exploring how our internal thoughts and feelings interact with the physical and social environments around us.
