Social neuroscience combines approaches from cognitive neuroscience and social psychology and highlights a multilevel approach to emotional, social, and cognitive phenomena, making it one of the newer, more promising fields of cognitive neuroscience.The course covers the development of the HBImed database by Andreas Müller and Juri Kropotov, including the latest research findings such as the introduction of ICA evoked potentials, the vigilance index, arousal-index and ADHD and emotional Classification-indexes. Participants learn to use the HBImed Brain Function Analyzer to conduct analyses and generate reports driven from copilot. Neurobiological foundations are linked with cognitive-psychological approaches to provide a comprehensive understanding of brain functions and their relationship to behavior and experience.

By combining neurobiological methods with cognitive-psychological theories, the course offers a well-founded insight into the interactions between brain, cognition, and social behavior. This integrative approach reflects the modern understanding of psychiatry, which unites biological, psychological, and systemic aspects to consider and treat mental disorders holistically. The findings from Social Neuroscience have far-reaching implications for clinical psychology and psychiatry. They contribute to a better understanding of the neurobiological foundations of mental disorders and enable the development of targeted diagnostic and therapeutic methods. By linking brain functions with cognitive processes and social behavior, individual risk factors can be identified, and personalized treatment approaches can be developed.
