Rob Chavez, an associate professor at the University of Oregon, joins me to discuss his field of computational social neuroscience. In addition to exploring his unique field of study, we also take a look at the weaknesses and strengths of brain imaging, the current state of neuroscience, the future impacts of AI, the importance of remembering "the map isn't the territory", and much more. With a large part of my own personal research also falling within this field, it was a true pleasure to geek out with Rob on this endlessly fascinating subject.
