International Symposium on Applied Neuroscience and Neuropsychology 2009: Discovering the Social Brain
       
       
 

Humans are social animals that seek rewarding social interactions for quality survival and living. The free will that we are blessed upon, and our ability to appreciate emotions experienced by our own selves and others enable us to display appropriate social behaviors that adds to life its flavour. Through this symposium, we invite you to join us to explore and discover our social brain - how our brain functions to regulate the cognitive-affective processes underpinning our daily social behaviors.
