INT Workshop “Social Cognitive Neuroscience Across Species”

Jeudi 25 et Vendredi 26 septembre 2025, à l’INT, salle Henri Gastaut

INT Workshop “Social Cognitive Neuroscience Across Species”
Organized by Christelle Baunez, Thierry Chaminade, Simon Nougaret

This is an important topic in a period when a social species such as the human, is desocializing, privileging virtual communication to real social interactions. This workshop aims to explore the neural underpinnings of social cognition, how representing others shapes our behaviour and iii) the consequences of a dysregulation of this system. The expected line-up includes outstanding speakers covering aspects of social cognition that we deem essential to advance on the transversal axis “Social Cognition” at the INT. Speakers are being chosen to present the state of the art on relevant aspects of social cognition through their latest research, covering various levels of approach – genetics, behavior, electrophysiology or fMRI … – and various animal models – from rodents to primates. A plenary lecture will be given by Prof. Didier Grandjean from the University of Geneva.
