Tohoku University Motoaki Sugiura Lab.

There seem to exist irrational human mind behind various social issues, including problematic behaviors such as bullying and crime, embarrassment of changes in values due to changes in social structure and aging, and difficulty in making social decisions on important issues such as environment, energy, and disasters. Brain science is expected to contribute to understanding and solving this problem, but it is not easy. At this symposium, social cognitive neuroscientists shared and discussed attempts to meet their expectations and academic issues that emerge from such attempts.
