Biography

Constance/Connie focuses on researching emotional expressivity and intrapersonal communication, or how we use communication-like behaviors to influence the self, actively process our perceptual experiences, and curate our qualia as part of the complex human consciousness system. These behaviors may be inclusive of many modalities, including inner monologues, journaling, imagining interactions, visualizations, and other mentalizations. Her ongoing dissertation work focuses primarily on streams-of-consciousness reported through typed and spoken language, analyzed through computational linguistic and temporal dynamics methods.
