Steve W. C. Chang, PhD

Steve Chang is an Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Yale University. He is also a member of the Kavli Institute for Neuroscience at Yale University. His research investigates the neural mechanisms of social cognition and social decision-making. Steve has been at the forefront of using live social interaction paradigms for studying the neural mechanisms underlying social decision-making and social gaze interactions. The ultimate goal of his research is to elucidate the neurophysiological and neuropharmacological mechanisms underlying social cognition and how these processes may be disrupted in psychiatric conditions with social deficits.
