summaryThe ability to perceive and interact with others occurs in an effortless manner, but is underpinned by complex cognitive and neural processes. In these two talks, we review recent evidence from behavioural and brai n imaging studies that uncover deeper insight into social cognition and brain function. Using examples from action learning, imitation, person perception and theory of mind paradigms, as well as work comparing social perception of humans compared to robots , we highlight the importance of considering distributed and connected brain circuits when aiming to understand how we perceive and interact with others in a social world.
