This journal investigates the neural and physiological underpinnings of social cognition and interaction. Research explores interpersonal dynamics, including similarity and synchrony between individuals, and how these are affected by factors such as decision-making orientation, stress, and empathy. The journal also examines social processes like moral reasoning, attachment, social categorization, and emotional contagion, often using neuroimaging techniques like EEG, fMRI, and fNIRS.
