Suzanne Dikker (Phd) leads various initiatives at the interface of neuroscience, education, and digital art. These include MindHive - a community science platform that brings together youth, educators, scientists, and community organizations to co-design human brain and behavioral science research projects; and Harmonic Dissonance Collective - a collaborative of artists and scientist to co-create public experiences that interrogate the algorithms that describe our interactions with others and the world around us. Suzanne’s work has been exhibited at various museums and festivals (the American Museum of Natural History, Pioneer Works, the Garage Museum for Contemporary Art, the Lisbon National Museum of Modern Art) and my tools are used by schools and universities across the Americas. Her research and community science projects are supported by the National Science Foundation, the National Institute of Mental Health, the EU Horizon program, the Schmidt Futures Foundation, and the Creatives Industries Fund. Suzanne received artistic training at the Royal Conservatory (The Hague), Rietveld Art Academy (Amsterdam) and the Universidad de Bellas Artes (Seville). She obtained my PhD in Linguistics from NYU and was a postdoctoral trainee at the Sackler Institute for Developmental Psychobiology before returning to NYU in her current position.
