• PSP-3004: The Social Brain (20) (Semester 1)
  Human beings are social creatures. We spend most of time in the company of other people, whose behaviour is complex, often unpredictable, and highly relevant to our own daily lives. These demands have shaped the evolution and development of the brain to provide neural systems that can: recognise other individuals and their actions; decode their intentions; make predictions about their future behaviour; and make guesses about their internal mental states. In recent years developments in functional neuroimaging - a set of tools that measure correlates of brain activity - have added much to our knowledge about these neural systems. The module will cover important concepts and findings in this area, with a particular emphasis on the functional MRI. Along the way, we will discuss the design, analysis and interpretation of the FMRI experiments, with a practical focus on understanding the latest research. The aims are to: 1.
