Embodied simulation and its role in social cognition (en anglais)
Conférencier : Vittorio Gallese M.D, Professeur de psychobiologie et de psychologie physiologique, département de chirurgie et de médecine, Université de Parme, Italie.
Embodied simulation – a basic functional mechanism of our brain – and its neural underpinnings are discussed and connected to intersubjectivity and social cognition. Embodied simulation provides a unified account of both non-verbal and verbal aspects of interpersonal relations that likely play a role in shaping the Self, its relation to others, and shared cultural practices. Embodied simulation might shed new light on human social nature and promote a potentially fruitful and mutually enriching multidisciplinary dialogue between neuroscience, medicine and the humanities.
