Learning objectives

The course aims to give the basic knowledge about the biological processes underlying social behaviour. In particular the neural correlates of social interactions, in-group and out-group processes and their modulation by environment and culture will be discussed. The course will also illustrate the methodologies of research in social neurosciences and the impact of results in terms of education. By the end of the course students will be able to: - know the biological correlates of social behaviour during social interactions - know the biological correlates of modulations in social behaviour and education - know the research methods in cognitive, social and affective neurosciences - develop the ability to use instruments and techniques for the observation of social behaviour and implicit responses to social interactions - develop the ability to devise and execute experimental studies in social neurosciences.
