Summary/Abstract: The book Social Neuroscience. An Introduction au-tory by Stephanie Cacioppo and John T. Cacioppo presents the research area of an extremely important and new research discipline. The position is an introduction to the field of social neuroscience research, which is an interdisciplinary field that is extremely difficult to explore due to the need to in-tegrate data, theories and methodologies from different research sub-disciplines. These data apply equally to the eminently social human species and other social animals. The goal of social neuroscience is to describe the neural substrate of social interactions and to describe the neural mechanisms behind human social abilities, such as social perception (including face recognition), intention understanding, imitation, empathy, theory of mind, and social learning, among others.
