The aim of the course is to familiarise students with the current state of knowledge concerning i.e. social neuroscience. It is a relatively new field of research whose aim is to identify the neural correlates underlying specifically human properties such as moral thinking, self-awareness, and building social relationships.
During the course, students will learn about the latest research results from cognitive and clinical neuropsychology, as well as developmental and experimental psychology, concerning the sources of social behaviour.
Subsequent meetings will discuss issues such as theory of mind, its development in norms and pathologies, brain correlates of empathy, face perception, moral decision-making. The class will take the form of a discussion of the issues raised in the texts. In addition, students will learn about the areas of the brain responsible for processing information related to social cognition.
