PSY 1139 - SOCIAL NEUROSCIENCE

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
In this discussion-based seminar course, we will focus on the principles of social cognitive and affective neuroscience (SCAN) and survey a broad array of topics in the field. SCAN is a fundamental merging of social science questions and neuroscience methods, with particular emphasis on fMRI. We will discuss how neuroimaging can inform our understanding of social interaction, self-perception, and our emotions, beliefs and behaviors. This course is appropriate for both students with background in social neuroscience and those with no prior background, but who are considering doing research in this area or are interested in the neurobiology of social behavior. Students are expected to read and comment on papers, participate actively in class discussions, complete written assignments, and lead a group discussion.
