Thematik
Culture, mind, and brain: The three main substrates of our self. The basic mechanisms of these substrates as well as the potential interactions between them have been widely investigated by several scientific fields. For example, various research areas of neuroscience and psychology are dedicated to mind and brain connections. In addition, the dynamics and rules of the complex human cultures have been rigorously studied by cultural anthropologists. The potential cultural effects on neuronal functioning, however, received less attention. Therefore, a novel scientific synthesis - Neuroanthropology - has emerged recently with an aim to provide a conceptual background of culture-brain interactions. The course is dedicated to this scientific area. More particular, the course aims to show the different aspects of the main question of 'how human culture is embedded in the human brain'.
