Intra - and Inter - Individual Diversity in Social Cognition: From Individual Neural Dynamics to Interactional Behavioural Patterns
Update: 2017-10-09
Description
Social interaction is a challenge for brain imaging but also a new frontier of cognitive neuroscience: understanding individual cognition needs to go beyond the traditional isolated brain perspective and to study how human development is shaped by active interactions with others. We will see how investigation of imitative exchanges with hyperscanning —simultaneously recording brain activity of multiple people— can help understanding the diversity of those interactions across neural and behavioural levels. A first study will show how different neural states underlie passive social perception and active social exchanges, and even how those states are also modulated by the social context such as spontaneous vs. induced interaction. A second study with participants with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) will then illustrate how biological heterogeneity may lead to an even wider range of neurobehavioral patterns. We will discuss how this supports the current critics of the normative approach adopted in cognitive sciences.
