About

Daniel Graham, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Psychological Science at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. He is the author of An Internet in Your Head: A New Paradigm for How the Brain Works. The book proposes that we can advance our understanding of the brain if we move beyond thinking about brains as computers and instead see the brain as an internet-like communication network.

Graham's research program in systems and computational neuroscience addresses questions about the dynamics of brain networks, the nature of human vision, and the perception of art and aesthetic images. He received his BA in Physics from Middlebury College and he earned his Ph.D. in Psychology from Cornell University where he was an NIH Kirschstein-NRSA predoctoral fellow. He has held postdoctoral fellowships in Mathematics and Psychological and Brain Sciences 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 been a guest editor for Frontiers in Human Neuroscience and Network Neuroscience.
