In this episode of Chaptered Minds, we explore The Social Brain by Sal Restivo, which delves into the interdisciplinary field of social neuroscience and its insights into how our brains shape—and are shaped by—social interactions. Our AI hosts discuss Restivo’s exploration of how the brain functions in social contexts, addressing themes like empathy, cooperation, and the cognitive processes that influence group dynamics. This episode offers a fascinating look into the neural underpinnings of human interaction, and how society and biology are intertwined. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on the science behind our social nature.
