We're going to use an unusual combination of tools from game theory and neuroscience to understand how people interact socially when value is on the line.

So game theory is a branch of, originally, applied mathematics, used mostly in economics and political science, a little bit in biology, that gives us a mathematical taxonomy of social life and it predicts what people are likely to do and believe others will do in cases where everyone's actions affect everyone else.
