Two decades of social neuroscience and neuroeconomics research illustrate the brain
mechanisms that are engaged when people consider human beings, often in comparison to�…

What determines how humans interact socially? Why do we sometimes cooperate but at
other times refuse to act cooperatively? Why are some people willing to trust a stranger�…

Internal (neuronal) representations in the brain are modified by our experiences, and this
phenomenon is not unique to sensory and motor systems. Here, we show that different�…

Neuroscientists and cognitive scientists have collaborated for more than a decade with the
common goal of understanding how the mind works. These collaborations have helped�…

Social decision-making is often complex, requiring the decision-maker to make inferences of
others' mental states in addition to engaging traditional decision-making processes like�…

Social cognitive neuroscience examines social phenomena and processes using cognitive
neuroscience research tools such as neuroimaging and neuropsychology. This review�…

Can artificial intelligence (AI) develop the potential to be our partner, and will we be as
sensitive to its social signals as we are to those of human beings? I examine both of these�…

Owing to advances in neuroimaging technology, the past couple of decades have witnessed
a surge of research on brain mechanisms that underlie human cognition. Despite the�…

Robots are increasingly envisaged as our future cohabitants. However, while considerable
progress has been made in recent years in terms of their technological realization, the ability�…

Artificial agents are becoming prevalent across human life domains. However, the neural
mechanisms underlying human responses to these new, artificial social partners remain�…
