Behavioural and Social Neuroscience - Milan Brázdil CF: Multimodal and Functional Imaging Laboratory |
Bio: I graduated from Masaryk University at the Faculty of Social Studies with a Master’s degree in psychology. Now I am a Ph.D. student of the neuroscience program at the Faculty of Medicine (Masaryk University). I am also working as a specialist at CEITEC (Masaryk University).
Research Interests: My research has so far primarily focused on motor learning and social-cognitive functions. Within the motor learning area I am interested in all kinds of online and offline modulators, especially those from the psychosocial domain. My research in social cognition is focused on social perception and underlying brain processes and networks. I am developing experimental paradigms for functional neuroimaging studies to investigate how people process ambiguous interpersonal stimuli, in order to find out what brain dynamics lies behind some biased judgements in social perception.
Hyperscanning research
Social neuroscience aims to elucidate the neural basis of social behaviour. Historically, this has involved the measurement of individuals’ brain responses while they process and react to social stimuli. Social behaviour is not a unidirectional process, however; we do not just react to our social environment, we interact with it. Social interactions are characterised by the reciprocal exchange of social information among interactants, demanding mutual co-adaptation and resulting in dynamic behavioural displays. Understanding the brain mechanisms that allow for such adaptive behaviour requires neuroscientific techniques capable of measuring brain processes during real inter-personal social behaviour. This can be achieved with “hyperscanning” - the measurement of brain activity from two or more individuals simultaneously whilst they interact with one another.
My team is developing experimental paradigms that can delineate among different aspects of inter-personal behaviour. By incorporating these paradigms into dual-fMRI and dual-EEG experiments, we will investigate brain dynamics as they unfold during different forms of social interaction. This will help us to identify effective neuromarkers for the quality of social communication, affording the assessment of social dimensions along which psychiatric illnesses can be described. The methodological development of hyperscanning might also lead to its application as a tool for the objective, neurobehavioural evaluation of behavioural intervention programs.
