summarySince the begining of the nineties, the emerging field of social neuroscience accumulated evidence of widespread impairments in mental conditions such as autism or schizophrenia. Researches on these two pathologies lead to the development of many paradigms which, in turn, allowed delineating the normal social brain. More recently, researchers refined knowledge on the different processes involved in understanding others and moved toward applications for patients’ assessment. For instance, it is now acknowledged that social cognitive deficits in schizophrenia lead to reduced functioning in interpersonal life. Moreover, cognitive remediation techniques or pharmacological interventions (oxytocin) targetting social cognition are now in developement. During this workshop, several researchers that were involved in the latest development of the field will present their views on the theorectical and experimental advances that could be expected in the near future. Invited researchers Martin Brüne, Franck Ramus and Simone Shamay-Tsoory will bring their insight on a fast developing domain at the interface between neurosciences and psychiatry.
