Abstract

According to the social brain hypothesis, primate brains evolved in size to adapt to the increasing demands of navigating a complex social network. Recent evidence has corroborated this by demonstrating how social interactions (or its lack of) can have measurable consequences on an organism’s biological fitness. However, the physiological mechanisms underlying our everyday decisions in a social context are not yet well-understood. In this talk, I will share some key findings from social neuroscience, highlighting some of our own work with non-human primates on valence based social decision-making. I will end with talking about another aspect of group behavior, a phenomenon known as ‘physiological synchrony’ and show, using our own data from a naturalistic group discussion task, how it could be a biomarker of effective group decision-making.
