Report summary

Yale University Department of Psychology in 2024-2026 reads as a 33-PI network with 21 internal PI collaborations. The research center of gravity is Neuroscience as the leading field (35% of slots across 22 PIs; 22 labels), Cognitive Neuroscience as the leading subfield (29% of slots across 21 PIs; 21 labels), and Neural dynamics and brain function as the leading topic (8% of slots across 8 PIs; 8 labels). Overall the pattern is balanced: there is enough structure to identify active groups, while the field mix still leaves room for multiple research identities. The most prominent PIs by weighted works are Anna C. Nobre (8.3 weighted works; Neural and Behavioral Psychology Studies, EEG and Brain-Computer Interfaces); Dylan G. Gee (7.9 weighted works; Functional Brain Connectivity Studies, Child and Adolescent Psychosocial and Emotional Development). The strongest pairings are Yaoda Xu and Marvin M. Chun (5 shared works, weight 4.1). The strongest breakdown groups are group 1 with 10 PIs, 9 internal connections, weight 12.3, around Cognitive Neuroscience, Social Psychology, Experimental and Cognitive Psychology, led by Anna C. Nobre, Yaoda Xu, Brian J. Scholl.
