Rebecca Saxe

I'm Rebecca, professor in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT and Associate Dean of Science. I study how the human brain makes sense of other minds.

I've been at MIT since my PhD and run SaxeLab, where we study theory of mind from infancy through adulthood. I also teach a course called Tools for Robust Science on making research more replicable and open.

Ask me about: theory of mind, how children understand others, moral judgment, or open science.
