Affiliated Faculty

Jeremy Rothman Manning

Associate Professor
Jeremy is an Associate Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth and directs the Contextual Dynamics Lab. He enjoys thinking about brains, non-brain brain-related things (e.g. zombies), computers, annoying-to-solve puzzles, and cats.

Luke Chang

Associate Professor
Luke is an Associate Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth and directs the Computational Social and Affective Neuroscience Lab. His lab develops tools to study the computational processes underlying emotions and social interactions and their neurobiological substrates.

Matthijs (Matt) van der Meer

Associate Professor
Matt is an Associate Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth. His lab studies how ensembles of neurons across multiple brain areas organize experience in the service of adaptive behavior.

Tor D. Wager

Professor
Dr. Wager and his lab have a dedication toward developing analysis methods for functional neuroimaging and sharing ideas, tools, and scientific data with the scientific community and public. At the moment Tor is also leading Dartmouth Brain Imaging Center (DBIC) where CON pilots various deployments and automations to improve efficiency and reproducibility in the neuroimaging, and the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience.

Emeritus

Jason Gors

Lost in California
Pythonista and heavy user of open-source offerings. Works on the DataLad project.

Gergana Alteva

Barnard College, Columbia University
A CS undergraduate from Columbia, worked on the DataLad project as a developer intern at Dartmouth in the summer of 2016. "This internship not only made me a contributor to a cool open source project, but through it I gained valuable experience in software development teamwork and tools (Git/GitHub, Travis, etc) which later made academic presentation of the same materials actually make sense and gave me a leg up in my courses. It was an incredible opportunity to work with and learn from such accomplished developers."

Oliver Contier

University of Magdeburg, Germany
Masters student in Psychology / Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Magdeburg. Oliver started his enthusiasm for open science as an intern at Dartmouth College where he enjoyed a summer full of fMRI data analysis. His current goal is to provide his University with a fully reproducible Masters thesis. Naturally, the perfect way to do it is by using - and contributing to - open software frameworks.
