Thanks for visiting! We are primarily sciencing these days at sbs.ethz.ch and rich-ramsey.com - we're keeping this website around for legacy reasons- for now at least!
The Social Brain in Action Lab moved to ETH Zurich in glorious Switzerland in 2023. It is based within the Department of Humanities, Social & Political Sciences (D-GESS) and the Department of Health Sciences and Technology (D-HEST). With the newly-minted Professorship for Social Brain Sciences at ETH, we are mostly keeping the SBS website up to date, while this SoBA Lab website tends to be less current. We also have several lab members and collaborators continuing to work on projects at Bangor University in North Wales, University of Glasgow in Scotland, and Macquarie University in Australia. Science is global, and SoBA Lab science is too!
