BRAIN
Nearly all aspects of our lives are influenced by our social surroundings. This course examines how humans navigate and make choices in social settings. Key questions addressed include the advantages of collective decision-making, the motivations and mechanisms behind cooperation and coordination, the influence of social norms on behavior, and the (cognitive) process and development of social learning.
The course focuses on studying relevant research papers, with efforts made to invite original authors for discussions when possible. At the end of the course, students are expected to have a solid grasp of key concepts in social decision-making and social behavior. |
