Journal club

We have a weekly journal club, in which we discuss papers relevant for ongoing projects in the lab (e.g., inter-brain synchrony, family dynamics, human-AI interaction, social neuroscience, fNIRS, neuroimaging, data analysis). One person picks the article, introduces the topic, and leads the discussion. Below you will find an overview of articles we discussed.
