This text covers the relationship between brain imaging techniques and social and cultural psychology. By analyzing the cultural influences on human cognition and its neural mechanisms it brings us closer to solving the big question of 'nature versus nurture'.

Cultural neuroscience combines brain imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging and event-related brain potentials with methods of social and cultural psychology to investigate whether and how cultures influence the neural mechanisms of perception, attention, emotion, social cognition, and other human cognitive processes. The findings of cultural neuroscience studies improve our understanding of the relation between human brain function and sociocultural contexts and help to reframe the "big question" of nature versus nurture. This book is organized so that two chapters provide general views of the relation between biological evolution, cultural evolution and recent cultural neuroscience studies, while other chapters focus on several aspects of human cognition that have been shown to be strongly influenced by sociocultural factors such as self-concept representation, language processes, emotion, time perception, and decision-making. The main goal of this work is to address how thinking actually takes place and how the underlying neural mechanisms are affected by culture and identity.

Prof. Dr. Ernst Pöppel gilt als einer der führenden Hirnforscher Deutschlands. Er war Gründungsvorstand des Instituts für Medizinische Psychologie und des Humanwissenschaftlichen Zentrums an der Universität München. Seit langem befasst sich Pöppel auch mit Fragen des demographischen Wandels; so hat er in Bad Tölz das universitäre Projekt "Generation Research Program" (GRP) aufgebaut. Sein Anliegen ist, auf die Chancen hinzuweisen, die sich für die älter werdende Gesellschaft ergeben.
