Kursbeschreibung

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.

There is no question about it; experience supported by peer reviewed research confirms this: The additional consideration of evoked potentials in the diagnostic process as a complementary component leads to precise diagnostics and thus to a neurobiologically based, personalized treatment.

Further, a comprehensive report is enhanced with an analysis of the patient’s self-assessment that extends beyond the clinical interview and includes an analysis of the self-report which is transcribed into areas of the brain that might be relatively deficient.

HBImed, in cooperation with the Brain and Trauma Foundation Grisons, has developed an evaluation system that allows complex processes to be handled easily and depicted in a report.

Wesentliche Lehrinhalte

The recording of the EEG within a framework of neurological-psychiatric diagnostics as well as the recording of evoked potentials has been standardized. Once the data has been collected, and compared with a FDA approved database, the clinician is ready to analyze the information to develop an assessment and subsequent comprehensive treatment plan. This data can now be analyzed in a mostly automated way and presented in a Word document. This is simple and requires no specific skills. It is the art of interpretation of the data and ultimately the combination of the individual elements which create a holistic process and description of a person’s brain functioning.

Methodological limitations and theoretical implications for the understanding of social cognition as contextual, multilevel, and situated phenomena are discussed.
