Dr. Matt Lieberman
While earning his Ph.D. in Psychology at Harvard University, Dr. Lieberman and his colleague Dr. Kevin Ochsner coined the term Social Cognitive Neuroscience, which has become a thriving area of research over the past two decades and describes nearly all of his work as Director of UCLA's Social Cognitive Neuroscience Lab. His lab uses functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to examine the neural bases of social cognition and social experience.
He is also the co-founder of Resonance, an early stage startup pioneering the use of AI to assess the distinctive ways individuals see the world and then matches you with people in with others in their community (college, workplace, neighborhood) they are likely to get along with.
In 2013, Dr. Lieberman published his bestselling book, Social: Why Our Brains are Wired to Connect, which examines how our brains evolved to ensure we are drawn to the social world and have the mental resources to navigate it. The book was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.

Connection With Your Colleagues Workshop
Did you know our relationships are actually a matter of life and death? There’s nothing that matters more to us as humans (or as organizations) than our sense of belonging. Our workplaces have the unique opportunity to better connect our people not only for their individual happiness and wellbeing, but because our ability to collaborate is directly correlated to our bottom line and organizational success. In this workshop filled with scientific data, real-world research, and fascinating case studies, Shasta Nelson will bring science to life in such a practical way that we all not only want to get along better, but also that we know how-to.
