We use methods and tools from cognitive neuroscience, psychology, ingestive behavior and nutrition. We are particularly interested in understanding the neurocognitive basis of human... ![miguel_alonso-alonso.jpg](/sites/g/files/omnuum10616/files/styles/hwp_4_5__690x865/public/mbb/files/miguel_alonso-alonso.jpg?itok=s81s5_Zz) [### George Alvarez ](/people/george-alvarez) Professor of Psychology, FAS George Alvarez uses behavioral, computational, and neuroscience methods to understand how the visual system uses efficient encoding strategies to optimize the allocation of its limited resources. His research on this topic falls into four broad categories... ![alvarez.jpg](/sites/g/files/omnuum10616/files/styles/hwp_4_5__690x865/public/mbb/files/alvarez.jpg?itok=CvCx8KWg) [### Mark Andermann ](/people/mark-andermann)Associate Professor of Medicine My lab is interested in how populations of neurons mediate online and offline processing of sensory information from the world and from the body. ![andermann.jpg](/sites/g/files/omnuum10616/files/styles/hwp_4_5__690x865/public/mbb/files/andermann.jpg?itok=Fptn5bnN) [### Susan L. Andersen, Ph.D. ](/people/susan-l-andersen) Associate Professor of Psychiatry, McLean Hospital and Harvard Medical School Director, Laboratory of Developmental Neuropharmacology My research interests focus on understanding how early life events influence brain development with a particular emphasis on adolescence. Negative factors (early life stress) or positive ones (drug treatments) shape brain maturation and behavior. Our goal... ![Prof. Andersen Photo](/sites/g/files/omnuum10616/files/styles/hwp_4_5__690x865/public/mbb/files/andersen_photo.png?itok=N_NHEkSd) [### Anne Arnett ](/people/anne-arnett) [Anne.Arnett@childrens.harvard.edu ]()Scientist | Division of Developmental Medicine | Boston Children’s Hospital Member of the Faculty of Pediatrics | Harvard Medical School Dr. Arnett and her research team aim to improve precision medicine care for children and families affected by neurodevelopmental disorders.

My previous research has focused on the effects that a brain lesion to the associative visual areas has upon the ability to discriminate and integrate visual events. While this neuropsychological... ![betalli.jpg](/sites/g/files/omnuum10616/files/styles/hwp_4_5__690x865/public/mbb/files/betalli.jpg?itok=P3_dLn-L) [### Elika Bergelson ](/people/elika-bergelson) [elika\_bergelson@fas.harvard.edu](mailto:elika_bergelson@fas.harvard.edu)John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Social Sciences I study how infants learn language from the world around them, and in particular how infants and toddlers learn words. We approach this by studying learners and their environments. Understanding the learner requires probing the early mental... ![Elike Bergelson photograph](/sites/g/files/omnuum10616/files/styles/hwp_4_5__690x865/public/2025-09/bergelson.jpg?itok=0YItof2Y) [### Jonathan David Bobaljik ](/people/jonathan-david-bobaljik) Professor of Linguistics, Faculty of Arts and Sciences My research generally asks the question: why are languages the way they are, both in the narrow sense of why specific languages have the properties they have, and also in the more general sense of investigating potential linguistic universals, and their... ![Bobaljik Photo](/sites/g/files/omnuum10616/files/styles/hwp_4_5__690x865/public/mbb/files/bobaljik_01.jpg?itok=jZYAJRja) [### Elizabeth Bonawitz ](/people/elizabeth-bonawitz)Associate Professor Learning Sciences Harvard University Graduate School of Education My research bridges Cognitive Development, Computational Modeling, and Education to inform our understanding of human learning.
