Zhenhao Shi

Zhenhao Shi is a postdoctoral fellow at the Annenberg Public Policy Center, where he works with Dr. Dan Romer and Dr. Daniel Langleben. His research interests lie broadly in human social cognition and its underlying brain mechanisms. He is particularly interested in how people share others' emotions and learn from others' behavior, and how risky behavior can be socially transmitted. To address these issues, he has used various neuroimaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), resting-state MRI, and electroencephalography (EEG), in combination with behavioral measures and questionnaires. Dr. Shi’s work has been published in journals including NeuroImage, Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, and PLoS ONE. He received his Ph.D. in Psychology from Peking University, where he studied the neural mechanisms of empathy and self-reflection with Dr. Shihui Han.
