Professional Summary
Dr. Mark Jaime is an Associate Professor of Psychology and Director of the Social Neuroscience Lab at Indiana University Columbus, which he founded in 2015 as the first psychology and neuroscience lab on campus. His research focuses on social perception, exploring how people detect, interpret, and respond to facial expressions, body movements, and other nonverbal cues. By studying subtle micro-movements, he investigates how these signals shape social interactions and contribute to social challenges in neurodiverse populations. His work integrates psychology, neuroscience, and AI-driven motion analysis to uncover the mechanisms behind human social behavior and communication. Beyond research, Dr. Jaime is passionate about mentoring undergraduate students and providing them with hands-on research experiences.
