- Resumen
Our everyday life is plenty of social interactions, but there are still many unknowns about the mechanisms supporting them. The current dissertation aims to explore the neurocognitive processes that underlie interactions in different social contexts. To do so, we carried out three experimental studies analyzing the modulation of behavioural and brain activity in individuals that observed and performed social actions. In a first study we observed that mental state processing is carried out implicitly, but can be influenced by the social profile of the person with whom we interact. The second and third studies showed that the planning and execution of movements in joint tasks depends on the degree of interaction between individuals, as well as their social profile. In general, the results of this dissertation allow us to determine the influence of the social context on how we represent our environment and behave in it.
