Do you ever notice that you feel more energized or alert when meeting new people and forming first impressions? Other times, a first meeting will rub you the wrong way and you may feel less attentive. If you've experienced one or both of these, you may wonder: What makes a good first impression? How do you know you want to become friends with someone? What information do we pay attention to when interacting with someone for the first time? Good questions! Neuroscience and psychology researchers wonder about the same things. Here at the Social Neuroscience and Health lab, we study how the brain and the immune system work together to influence our behaviors and experiences. The Friendship Pathways Study is a research project aiming to answer questions about how the brain and immune system communicate when meeting new people and forming friendships.
