2025 NeuroPSI – Chen Institute joint conference on Brain, Behavior & Beyond

Social cognition, Decision making & Communication

In complex social environments, making adaptive choices relies heavily on the integration of social cognition, language and communication. These processes take diverse forms and are supported by different neural substrates across species.

Over two days integrating neuroscience and artificial intelligence, we will explore the dynamic interplay between social cognition, emotions, decision making and various communication and language systems from humans, primates, rodents, birds, pinnipeds and drosophilas.
