Computational Social Neuroscience

Hidden Information Labs Institute

Just as neurons connect to create the mind, individual minds connect to create social intelligence. Our lab investigates the structural, functional, and dynamic principles that govern these multi-brain systems — from dyads and teams to communities and networks. By bridging computational neuroscience and social systems science, we aim to uncover how collective cognition, emotion, and decision-making emerge from the coordination of many brains. At HILIO, we are discovering the predictive capabilities of collective reward mechanisms and the network effects shaping our social fabric. Our intent is to design community-resilient and creatively sovereign neuroethical protocols, formalized through category theory. We welcome connections with those interested in learning more about how we apply our relational methods to market sentiment, public health systems, and economic equity.
