Jeremy Rothman Manning
Assistant Professor
Jeremy is an Assistant Professor of Psychological and Brain
Sciences at Dartmouth and directs the Contextual Dynamics
Lab. He enjoys thinking about brains, non-brain brain-related
things (e.g. zombies), computers, annoying-to-solve puzzles,
and cats.
Luke Chang
Assistant Professor

Sciences at Dartmouth and directs the Computational Social and Affective
Neuroscience Lab. His lab develops tools to study the computational processes
underlying emotions and social interactions and their neurobiological substrates.
Matthijs (Matt) van der Meer

Matt is an Assistant Professor of Psychological and
Brain Sciences at Dartmouth. His lab studies how
ensembles of neurons across multiple brain areas
organize experience in the service of adaptive behavior.
Emeritus
Jason Gors

Pythonista and heavy user of open-source offerings. Works on
the DataLad project.
Gergana Alteva
Barnard College, Columbia University
A CS undergraduate from Columbia, worked on the DataLad project as a developer intern at
Dartmouth in the summer of 2016. "This internship not only made me a
contributor to a cool open source project, but through it I gained valuable
experience in software development teamwork and tools (Git/GitHub, Travis,
etc) which later made academic presentation of the same materials actually
make sense and gave me a leg up in my courses. It was an incredible
opportunity to work with and learn from such accomplished developers."
Oliver Contier
University of Magdeburg, Germany
Masters student in Psychology / Cognitive Neuroscience at the
University of Magdeburg. Oliver started his enthusiasm for
open science as an intern at Dartmouth College where he
enjoyed a summer full of fMRI data analysis. His current goal
is to provide his University with a fully reproducible Masters
thesis. Naturally, the perfect way to do it is by using - and
contributing to - open software frameworks.
