PEOPLE

Our Team

Our lab brings together researchers with diverse backgrounds and shared interests in understanding the social mind. We work collaboratively across levels of analysis, from neural mechanisms to real-world social behavior.

Principal Investigator

Sunhae Sul is a Professor at Hanyang University whose research focuses on human sociality, integrating social and affective neuroscience, experimental psychology, and computational approaches. Her research examines how the human brain enables cooperation, morality, and prosocial behavior, and how these processes contribute to individual well-being and the functioning of society.
