Emily S. Finn is assistant professor of psychological and brain sciences at Dartmouth College, where she directs the Functional Imaging and Naturalistic Neuroscience (FINN) Lab. Finn has pioneered techniques such as functional connectome fingerprinting and connectome-based predictive modeling for predicting individual behaviors from functional brain connectivity. Her current work is focused on how within- and between-individual variability in brain activity relates to appraisal of ambiguous information under naturalistic conditions such as watching movies or listening to stories.
