Haily Merritt studies how the brain and mind are shaped by social interaction, using tools from neuroscience, computational modeling, and text analysis. The work examines brain networks and mental health, how individuals relate to others, and how social context influences psychological development. Projects range from modeling simulated agents interacting with one another to analyzing language in novels and studying brain connectivity patterns.
