We will introduce Social Intelligence by first covering these 3 Topics : 

1. Social Brain - how humans are wired to connect 

2. Social Neuroscience - what happens in our brains when we do connect 

3. Social Intelligence - its responsiveness and influence 

So let's begin.

Part I. Our Brain as a "Social Brain"

Human beings are wired to connect.

Whenever we engage with another person, our brains link up with each other. This neural bridge affects the brain and the body of everyone we interact with, including ourselves.

Our brain design is sociable that has social circuits that navigate us through every human encounter. The more strongly connected we are with someone emotionally, the greater the mutual force. Our most potent exchanges occur with those people we spend the greatest amount of time with and those we care about the most.

Our routine encounters act as regulators in the brain, priming our emotions, some desirable, others not.

When we interact with people, our brains engage with each other. During these neural link ups, our brains engage in a dance of feelings. Our feelings about the interaction, send out hormones that regulate biological systems from our heart to our immune cells.
