He leads the Causality in Cognition Lab (http://cicl.stanford.edu) which studies the role that causality plays in people's understanding of the world, and of each other. In his research, Gerstenberg develops computational models of how people think. He tests the predictions of these models in large-scale online experiments, as well as in eye-tracking studies in the lab.
