Emily S. Cross is Professor at the University of Glasgow's School of Psychology & Neuroscience, where she co-directs the Social Brain in Action Lab (SoBA) and leads the ERC Starting Grant 'Social Robots' project. She completed her PhD at Dartmouth College and held positions at Bangor University, Radboud University, and the University of Western Australia before joining Glasgow.
Her research explores:
- Experience-dependent plasticity through dance and motor learning
- Social cognition in human-robot interaction
- Emotional processing during action observation
- Aesthetic perception of movement
- Cross-cultural differences in technology acceptance
Professor Cross uses neuroimaging (fMRI), neurostimulation (TMS, tDCS), and behavioral methods to study how we perceive and learn from human and artificial agents. Her work has been published in Trends in Cognitive Sciences, Journal of Neuroscience, and Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.
She currently supervises projects on robot-assisted health interventions and develops VR paradigms to study social cognition.
