Session Description
Humans have evolved to be incredibly social creatures, capable of complex communication and predicting the emotional and mental states of others. Current research hopes to understand the neuroscience of social behavior to increase workplace productivity and treat autism spectrum disorder and anxiety. Researchers will discuss the neural correlates of social behaviors like empathy and theory of mind, as well as the effects of touch on brain activity.
