| summary | Social conformity can be described as the propensity for an individual to abandon a behaviour, a preference or a belief in favour of the one exhibited by a majority of his peers. This type of learning bias is known to play a key role in the cultural transmission of behaviours among individuals of a same population. Though it has been extensively described at the population level, its psychological and neurophysiological underpinnings remain to be specified. I will present preliminary results of an experiment in which Social Conformity is modeled in the context of a perceptual categorization task, using both psychophysics and electroencephalography. More specifically, we aim to investigate whether, and how, the human observer's brain codes social information provided by a group of peers, and whether this information can have an influence on decision-making and perceptual processing. |
