The course is intended to provide students with a broad presentation of experimental methods applied in social neuroscience. After an overview of the main theories guiding research in this field, the course will focus on neurophysiological methods (fMRI, EEG, MEG, brain lesions) used to study the neural underpinnings of social functions, from lower-level perceptual and motor functions (e.g. social vision, interpersonal motor coordination, social emotions and affect) to higher-order forms of social cognition (embodied cognition, theory of mind, empathy, stereotyping). Furthermore, the course will explain how non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS, tES) approaches are used to study and modulate neural processes underlying social functions.
