About the Symposium
Social Cognition is an expanding field of study that has come to include researchers from various disciplines like: psychology, Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Artificial Intelligence. Social Cognition is focused on exploring how individuals use their cognition and social signals (e.g. facial expressions, gaze) to interact in a group and infer each other’s intentions, emotions, decisions, and perspectives. ‘The goal of social cognition is to provide mechanistic, process-oriented explanations of complex social phenomena.
