Psychopathology of the Social Brain

Satellite Symposium of EACLIPT 2019
October 30th 2019, Dresden

Funded by Die Junge Akademie at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities and the National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina
Organizers: Philipp Kanske, Jan Haaker

The satellite symposium aims to bring together European researchers from diverse backgrounds that study alterations of social interaction and its underlying cognitive and affective mechanisms in mental disorders. The format will be one of relatively brief update presentations (20-25 min) to yield room for discussion in a round of experts.
