Established evidence supports the idea that the social systems of primates, like their brains, are more complex than those of other species. These systems exhibit peculiar behavioral processes, including deception and coalition formation. The hypothesis that links the size of primate species’ brains to the complexity of their social system is called the social brain hypothesis. 1 One of the most relevant and characteristic traits of the social brain is cooperative behavior.As humans, our daily life experiences testify to the fact that through cooperation with other human beings we can achieve goals that we could not reach as individuals. Despite the common occurrence and impact of these cooperation processes on our life, we still know little about the neural processes that underline the emergence of a cooperative (or competitive) interaction in a group of subjects. We know even less about how these social interactions simultaneously influence brain activities and thus the behavior of the subjects involved.
