About
Bahador Bahrami is a cognitive neuroscientist whose research sits at the intersection of social cognition, metacognition, and collective decision-making. He is best known for pioneering work on how humans share and integrate knowledge—particularly how we monitor our own uncertainty and communicate it to others to improve group accuracy. In a landmark series of studies, Bahrami demonstrated that when two people discuss a perceptual decision, the more confident partner can dominate the exchange, but that this can be mitigated by explicit communication of confidence levels. His 2016 paper on the social transmission of the sense of agency, with 21 citations, explores how social context shapes our fundamental feeling of controlling our own actions—a concept with deep implications for both neuroscience and social responsibility. Bahrami’s work has been widely influential, with several papers accumulating hundreds of citations, and he has been recognized with major grants and fellowships for his contributions to understanding the social brain. His research elegantly bridges individual cognition and collective intelligence, offering insights into teamwork, education, and even artificial intelligence.
