About Rebecca Saxe >
Rebecca Saxe studies how we think about other people's thoughts. At the Saxelab at MIT, she uses fMRI to identify what happens in our brains when we consider the motives, passions and beliefs… >
While still a graduate student, Rebecca Saxe made a breakthrough discovery: There's a specific region in our brain that becomes active when we contemplate the workings of other minds.

As Saxe delves into the complexities of social cognition, this young scientist is working toward revealing the enigma of human minds interacting.
"One of the most astonishing discoveries in the field of human cognitive neuroscience." - Nancy Kanwisher, the Ellen Swallow Richards Professor of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT >
