| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted three fMRI studies on interpersonal relations through 2015 to 2017. In 2015, we investigated the brain regions that respond to costly apologies. We found the theory-of-mind region responded to costly apologies. Apology is one type of commitment signals. Therefore, we investigated which brain region would respond to various forms of commitment signals (except costly apologies). We found a brain region that is known to code value responds to commitment signals emitted by their friends. In 2017, we tested whether the same brain regions would respond to both interpersonal and group apologies, and found that partially overlapped regions responded to both interpersonal and group apologies.
