Hi, my name is Dawei Bai.

I am a postdoc at Yale University working with Brian Scholl.

I study the perception of intuitive physics and social agency, as well as the intersection of the two.

(Next to me is Albert Michotte's original apparatus for his pioneering studies on causality. Leuven, Belgium.)

Demos:

The Double Ring Illusion (3rd place in the Best Illusion of the Year Contest 2021 by the Neural Correlate Society!)

I recently received my Ph.D from the Ecole Normale Supérieure (Paris, France), where I worked with Brent Strickland.
