Social Neuroscience: How a Multidisciplinary Field Is Uncovering the Biology of Human Interactions
Not long ago, scientists thought that social factors were relatively unimportant to the basic structure and function of the brain and biology because of their relatively recent emergence in species. The social brain hypothesis, however, posits that the social complexities … Continue reading

Loneliness and social neuroscience
A first issue to be addressed concerns the nature of loneliness. Researchers and theorists have made a distinction between loneliness and social isolation. Studies have indicated that some individuals may have large social networks and be involved in frequent social … Continue reading
What does the interactive brain hypothesis mean for social neuroscience?
A recent framework inspired by phenomenological philosophy, dynamical systems theory, embodied cognition and robotics has proposed the interactive brain hypothesis (IBH). Whereas mainstream social neuroscience views social cognition as arising solely from events in the brain, the IBH argues that … Continue reading

What can we learn from a two-brain approach to verbal interaction?
Verbal interaction is one of the most frequent social interactions humans encounter on a daily basis. In the current paper, we zoom in on what the multi-brain approach has contributed, and can contribute in the future, to our understanding of … Continue reading

Social neuroscience: challenges and opportunities in the study of complex behavior
Social species are so characterized because they form organizations that extend beyond the individual. The goal of social neuroscience is to investigate the biological mechanisms that underlie these social structures, processes, and behavior and the influences between social and neural … Continue reading
