Daniel Graham is associate professor of psychological science at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. His research in systems and computational neuroscience addresses questions on the dynamics of brain networks, the nature of human vision and the perception of art and aesthetic images.
Graham is author of “An Internet in Your Head: A New Paradigm for How the Brain Works” (Columbia University Press, 2021), which proposes that we can advance our understanding of the brain if we move beyond thinking about brains only as computers and instead see the brain as an internet-like communication network.
He earned his B.A. in physics at Middlebury College and his Ph.D. in psychology at Cornell University working in the lab of David Field, where he served as an NIH Kirschstein-NRSA predoctoral fellow. He held postdoctoral fellowships in mathematics and brain science at Dartmouth College and in psychology at the University of Vienna. Graham serves on the editorial board of the journal Art and Perception and has served as guest editor for Frontiers in Human Neuroscience and Network Neuroscience.
