Studying brains in isolation enables control over their states. But for many organisms, interactions with others is central to their experience. Are we inherently connected in ways that profoundly shape our wellbeing? Can our wellbeing, in turn, shape the social ties we’re able to form? How should neuroscience reconcile a focused study of our state of mind with the evolving dynamics of our social groups? Join us in this seminar as we explore the intricate interplay between social interaction, health and wellbeing.
