Stavros Niarchos Foundation Brain Insight Lecture
How We Perceive Ourselves and Others
There is no shortage of social situations in a place like New York City. Even when inundated by a fast-paced blur of people, we can still pick out a familiar face from a crowd or form immediate impressions about strangers. What are the underlying mechanisms that allow the brain to realize you’ve run into your barista on the subway? How does information from previous social interactions shape the brain’s analysis of new ones? In this event, three experts combine their perspectives across neuroscience, cognitive science, and psychology to explore how we relate to those around us.
