Brain games: toward a neuroecology of social behavior

Jean-François Gariépy et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2013 Aug.

Abstract

In the target article, Schilbach et al. defend a "second-person neuroscience" perspective that focuses on the neural basis of social cognition during live, ongoing interactions between individuals. We argue that a second-person neuroscience would benefit from formal approaches borrowed from economics and behavioral ecology and that it should be extended to social interactions in nonhuman animals.
