Noah D. Goodman is Associate Professor of Psychology and Computer Science, and Linguistics (by courtesy) at Stanford University. He directs the Computation & Cognition Lab (CoCoLab) at Stanford, where he leads research on computational models of cognition, integrating logic and probability. His work spans cognitive psychology, linguistics, and computer science. Primary Appointment: Psychology Department By Courtesy: Computer Science Department and Linguistics Department Director: Computation & Cognition Lab (CoCoLab) Goodman's research focuses on computational models of cognition, with particular interest in probabilistic approaches to understanding human thought. His work integrates logic and probability to model concepts, categorization, intuitive theories, causal learning and reasoning, social cognition (including reasoning about others' goals, beliefs, and actions), cognitive development (especially acquisition of abstract knowledge), and natural language semantics and pragmatics. He has made significant contributions to the development of probabilistic programming languages as tools for cognitive modeling. His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward integrating probabilistic modeling with linguistic theory and social cognition. The articles span computational cognitive science, natural language processing, and artificial intelligence, with a consistent theme of using probabilistic frameworks to understand complex cognitive phenomena. Many papers explore how humans make inferences under uncertainty across different domains. Goodman teaches several courses at Stanford including Language and Thought (Psych 132), Computation and Cognition: the Probabilistic Approach (Psych 204/CS 428), Foundations of Cognition (Psych 205), and Introduction to Cognitive Science. He has also led seminars on topics ranging from natural and artificial intelligence to the science of meditation.

Her research interests include formal semantics applied to visual narratives, dynamic semantics, possible world theory, and multimodal discourse representation. She investigates how visual elements like sequential art and pictorial sequences convey temporal progression, aspectual distinctions, and free perception constructions through semiotic frameworks. Recent presentations include talks on applying semantics to film and picturebooks at institutions like MIT and the University of Padua. Her publications emphasize cross-media analysis, with key works published in Linguistics & Philosophy and Sinn und Bedeutung . Abusch has received grants for projects studying visual narratives in Indian art and wall paintings of Rajasthan. These include a 2012-2013 Humanities Research Grant and a Cornell Institute for Social Sciences award.

Wim Gevers is a faculty member at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) and leads the CS4S – Cognitive Control & Sleep laboratory within the CRCN research centre. His work bridges cognitive psychology, neuroscience and sleep research to understand how the brain exerts control over thoughts and actions and how sleep contributes to these processes. Research Interests Cognitive Control & Metacognition: Investigating how subjective experiences such as confidence and the "urge-to-err" guide strategic adjustments in behaviour. Working Memory & Ordinal Cognition: Examining how order information is maintained and manipulated, and how these processes relate to mathematical competence. Sleep, Memory & Decision Making: Exploring how sleep-dependent consolidation influences motor learning and decision strategies. Across his 2022–2025 publications a clear trend emerges: a focus on metacognitive monitoring —how humans evaluate their own cognitive states—and the role of emotional and temporal context in shaping those evaluations. Studies range from reaction-time introspection and confidence judgements in perceptual tasks to the impact of aging and depression on metacognitive accuracy.
