Georgetown Laboratory for Relational Cognition

Work in the Laboratory for Relational Cognition focuses on relational thinking and reasoning, i.e., how we understand the connections between the ideas and events we encounter and how we come up with new, creative connections. 

Current directions in the lab include developing measures of human creative value in AI co-creation as a predictor of academic success, leadership, and human flourishing; leveraging neurofeedback and neuromodulation to support creative thinking; and applying neural measurements of concept learning and creative thinking in classrooms to build new curricula. Our work engages and, where appropriate, seeks to integrate behavioral, brain-based, and computational approaches.
