sociality is built on our capacity for mutual understanding, but the
principles and mechanisms of this capacity remain poorly understood.
Progress might be limited because it is hard to capture the flexibility
of mutual understanding with controlled experiments. More importantly,
progress might also be limited because the mechanisms of mutual
understanding lie in an interdisciplinary no-man’s land, with several
theories pulling partial empirical observations in quite different
directions. This symposium is concerned with bridging this
interdisciplinary gap, fostering interactions between theoretical and
experimental approaches on mutual understanding during human social
interactions. The discussion will focus on mechanisms of mutual
understanding, studied at different levels of organization, from
cognitive systems to neuronal ensembles.</span></p><br><br>-- <br>Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour<br>Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging<br>Radboud University Nijmegen<br><br>Email: a.stolk@donders.ru.nl<br>Phone: +31(0)243 68294<br>Web: www.arjenstolk.nl<br></div></body></html>
