On February 3rd, 2025, we held a workshop with researchers from PNU and UNIST, with whom we collaborating on the government-funded Social Science Korea (SSK) project, titled “Delineating the Mechanisms of Cognitive Bases Underlying the Exaggeration of Polarization and Social Conflicts in a Hyper-Connected Society.”

In the workshop, we shared our analyses on how political polarization influences cognitive processing, resource allocation, and social learning. Moreover, We discussed how cognitive differences resulting from political polarization can be explained by the structural characteristics of the brain.

Based on these discussions, we plan to strengthen our collaboration and expand our academic contributions through journal publications and conference presentations.
