SwatDeck, Diversity, and the Science of Networks
By bringing together four random students for an adventure in Philadelphia, could we rewire the social connections on our campus?
Brennan Klein is pursuing a Ph.D. from the Network Science Institute at Northeastern University. He researches human decision-making, complex problem solving, and group behavior, involving both human participants and simulations of human behavior through agent-based modeling. He received his B.A. in cognitive science and psychology from Swarthmore College, focusing on the relationship between perception, action, and cognition.

We looked into the science behind BeeLine Reader, which was recently awarded first prize in a Social Entrepreneurship competition at Stanford University, and another speed-reading app, Spritz, to find out more about how they work and if they work.
Over the past few decades, research in the fields of perception and psychophysics has seemingly demonstrated that our vision is inherently tied to the current psychological, emotional, or physical state of our body.
Across all cultures and languages, humans use metaphors to describe diverse concepts such as time, crime, emotions, and motion. But metaphors are more than just eloquent descriptions.
