Emily Finn

Assistant Professor, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Dartmouth College

Emily Finn is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Dartmouth College. Work in Dr. Finn’s lab is focused on how within- and across-individual variability in brain activity relates to variability to subjective experience, especially in naturalistic and narrative-like conditions. She completed her Ph.D. in neuroscience at Yale, and her postdoctoral training at the National Institute of Mental Health. Before that, she received a B.A. in linguistics, also from Yale. She has received widespread recognition for her work, including, most recently, the Cognitive Neuroscience Society Young Investigator Award (2025) and the Janet Taylor Spence Award for transformative early-career contributions from the Association for Psychological Science (2026).
