Dyutiman Mukhopadhyay
(Honorary Research Associate & Newton International Fellow)
Dyutiman is currently a British Academy Newton International Fellow working on the psychological and neural basis of cross-cultural emotion transfer through films. The broad theme of his research interest is cultural neuroscience of social cognition with reference to emotion, art and creativity where he tries to integrate the psychological and neural processes. His research domain include EEG, fMRI and Eye-tracking based study of emotions in response to complex naturalistic stimuli like films, paintings, real-life stimuli, dance expressions and standard face-database. One of his focus areas is concerned with how the classification of emotions in Rasa theory of ancient Indian aesthetics can contribute to current cognitive neuroscience. Parallel to his academic career he is deeply involved in the fields of photography, film-making and other forms of visual art.

Letitia Ho
(Undergraduate intern)
Letty is an undergraduate neuroscience major from Swarthmore College, Pennsylvania. She decided life in the suburbs was not for her and spent the second semester of her third year abroad as an affiliate student in the Psychology department of UCL. She joined the lab during her semester in London and received a grant from her college allowing her to continue her research into the summer. Her project in the lab uses fMRI to investigate the brain networks involved in the processing of linguistic ambiguities during exposure to naturalistic stimuli. Letty is also involved in social neuroscience research with Professor Catherine Norris back in Swarthmore College. She will return to the US for her final year of undergraduate studies and hopes to continue her language and neuroscience research with Professor Daniel Grodner. Letty is originally from Hong Kong and has an academic scholarship from the Hong Kong Government, in her free time she enjoys cooking, feeding people, and painting.
