Suzanne Dikker, PhD, studies how the rhythms of our brains and bodies support real-world social interactions, within and between generations. She leads initiatives spanning neuroscience, education, performance art, and therapeutic interventions - with support from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health, a European Research Council Consolidator Award, and private foundations. Her interactive science/art experiences have reached audiences across Europe and the US, and her educational technology platforms are used in schools worldwide. Suzanne’s collaborators range across disciplines and include public figures like Marina Abramović and Bad Bunny; and her work has been recognized in both the arts and the sciences, and covered by outlets including The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and CNN. Suzanne received a PhD in Linguistics from NYU and was trained as a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Developmental Psychobiology at Weill Cornell Medicine before returning to NYU, where she is Research Associate Professor of Psychology and Principal Investigator of several grants. In 2026 she was also appointed Associate Professor of Psychology at Ghent University.
