Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience

This course focuses on research representing the relatively recent merger of cognitive neuroscience with social and affective psychology. Students of social and cognitive psychology will have an opportunity to learn more about the information-processing components and neural mechanisms underlying a selection of core social experiences and individual differences, and students of cognitive neuroscience will be able to expand appreciation of how social context and individual differences influence basic cognitive and emotional processes and their associated neural systems.
