About
Suzanne Dikker is a cognitive neuroscientist whose research sits at the intersection of social interaction, language, and neuroscience. She is best known for pioneering work on interpersonal neural synchrony—how our brains align during real-world communication. Her major contributions include demonstrating that brain-to-brain coupling during conversation predicts mutual understanding and engagement, fundamentally shifting how we study dynamic social cognition. With over 25 citations for her recent work on resonance as a design strategy for AI and social robots, Dikker explores how the physical mechanism of resonance can enhance human-robot interaction. Her highly cited studies on neural synchrony in classrooms and naturalistic settings have collectively garnered hundreds of citations, establishing her as a leader in ecological neuroscience. Notably, she co-founded the "Neuroscience of Social Interaction" lab at NYU and Utrecht University, and her work has been featured in outlets like *The Atlantic* and *TEDx*. Dikker’s research bridges basic science and real-world applications, offering profound insights into how we connect with each other—and with machines.
