Social Isolation

The detrimental effects of social isolation and loneliness on mental and physical health are well-documented worldwide. However, little is known about how different socio-cognitive abilities contribute to social isolation and loneliness, and how, in turn, social isolation and loneliness impact socio-cognitive abilities.

In a new line of research, we address this gap by studying three distinct populations particularly at risk: young healthy adults, individuals with psychiatric disorders, and individuals with acquired brain damage.
