This volume presents recent empirical advances using neuroscience techniques to investigate how culture influences neural processes
underlying a wide range of human abilities, from perception and scene processing to memory and social cognition. It also highlights the
theoretical and methodological issues with conducting cultural neuroscience research. Section I provides diverse theoretical
perspectives on how culture and biology interact are represented. Sections II ?VI is to demonstrate how cultural values, beliefs,
practices and experience affect neural systems underlying a wide range of human behavior from perception and cognition to emotion, social
cognition and decision-making. The final section presents arguments for integrating the study of culture and the human
brain by providing an explicit articulation of how the study of culture can inform the study of the brain and vice versa.
