Diana Tamir is a Professor at Princeton University, where she directs the Princeton Social Neuroscience Lab. She earned her Ph.D. from Harvard University and specializes in the intersection of internal mental processes and external social cognition.
Her research investigates:
- How minds predict others' emotions and mental states
- The cognitive consequences of self-disclosure and social media use
- Neural mechanisms of social prediction using fMRI and machine learning
- Effects of fiction reading on theory of mind
- Dynamics of spontaneous thought and social bonding
Her recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate strong focus on emotion prediction mechanisms, social interaction dynamics, neural signatures of psychological states, and developmental aspects of social cognition. Methodologically, she employs neuroimaging hyperscanning, ecological momentary assessment, and computational modeling across diverse populations.
She currently advises graduate students including Faustine Corbani and Yeaju Diana Kim. Her lab focuses on empirical approaches to understanding how individuals navigate between internal experiences and external social environments.
