Topic

​

The reason why 2L is separate from 2K and the other sections is because this topic is more based on interpersonal relationships between many people rather than neuropsychology at the level of the individual; and it is distinct from populations sociology. Interesting new patterns of experiences emerge when looking at societal/social affective cognitive neuroscience - whether it be speaking in front of an audience, attending an interview, meeting someone important, courtship 'dating' interactions, or intimate sexual relationships. A large body of knowledge (from evolutionary behavioural ecology, functional neuroimaging, sociological and physico-social dynamics) allows us to systematically understand the mechanisms of the thoughts, sensations and actions involved in these interactions that we engage in almost every day.

​

This section will be based on Science Research and Personal Case Studies, and will ultimately be for Self-Help to anyone who visits this page.
