O evento "Rethinking the Future III: Fostering Social Equality" busca fomentar debates interdisciplinares sobre desafios contemporâneos na construção de uma sociedade mais equitativa e justa. Alinhado à Agenda 2030 da ONU e aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS), o evento abordará temas relacionados aos ODS 3 (Saúde e Bem-estar), 5 (Igualdade de Gênero), 10 (Redução das Desigu…
Neurofeedback and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) are promising techniques for neuroenhancement of attentional performance. As far as we know no study compared both techniques on attentional performance in healthy participants. We compared tDCS and neurofeedback in a randomized, single-blind, controlled experiment assessing both behavioral (accuracy and time reaction) and e…
Esta ESPCA se caracteriza por um programa de duas semanas voltadas à discussão da chamada Neurociência Social e Afetiva.

The use of emotion regulation strategies such as cognitive reappraisal can be a tool for mental health. Studies with dyads show that cognitive reappraisal can be effective in reducing negative emotions at an interpersonal level. Given that social proximity seems to be associated with neural synchronization, this study aims to assess whether the degree of social proximity can influence the…
The formation of groups is a fundamental phenomenon for human beings and can occur based on similar traits that help create a common category. This categorization can lead members to show greater preference for their own group, offering an advantage in situations involving the distribution of rewards and cooperation, which in turn fosters greater adherence to the group. However, this favo…
Humans tend to categorize those around them based on shared characteristics, such as skin color, thus designating their racial ingroup and outgroup. This may lead to a negative bias towards the outgroup, and racial bias can lead to discrimination and prejudice. Moral judgment is an evaluation of someone's actions or character, based on moral norms. It can be affected by context, motivatio…

This study aims to investigate the identification and assess the acceptability of acts of psychological violence against women by an intimate partner, both in isolation and in conjunction with acts of physical violence. Psychological violence is defined as acts or omissions that cause, or have the potential to cause, harm to a woman's self-esteem, identity, or development. This phenomenon…
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a social and public health issue that affects countless women worldwide (ONU Mulheres Brasil, 2013). Data from the National Map of Gender Violence show that in 2022, more than 200,000 women experienced some form of violence in Brazil. Despite the prevalence of this violence, the understanding of how justifications for such behavior against women affect t…
Humans, inherently social, rely on collaborative group interactions and cooperation for survival. However, achieving this collaborative and cooperative dynamic can be challenging. Social and moral identities, influenced by shared values, can lead to polarized opinions and conflicts. Evolutionarily, cooperation has led to more stable and prosperous societies, understanding and promoting co…

Social identity plays a central role in shaping intergroup dynamics, influencing attitudes, cooperation, and conflict. Interventions targeting social identity mechanisms have shown promise in fostering intergroup cooperation and reducing polarization. However, the application of these interventions in large-scale and cross-cultural studies remains a challenge due to contextual, cultural, …
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), defined as 'behaviors in intimate relationships that cause physical, sexual, or psychological harm to the victim', is a persistent social issue that requires a deeper understanding of the factors influencing moral judgments surrounding such behaviors. This research project aims to investigate three distinct types of moral judgments (evaluation, norm judgme…
Moral decision-making plays a pivotal role in our daily lives, often involving complexjudgements around fairness. Cardiac interoception, the perception and integration ofbodily signals like heartbeat, has been shown to influence various aspects of socialdecision-making. However, the interplay between cardiac interoception and moraldecision-making, particularly in fairness judgements, rema…
In this research project, we aim to develop a new and more ecological experimental method to understand the neurophysiological underpinnings of cooperative behavior using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to collect and neural reference groups, and intersubject correlation methods to analyse the data. Traditional methods for studying cooperation often rely on artificial and co…
