{"product_id":"neurocultures-francisco-ortega-9783631598559","title":"Neurocultures: Glimpses into an Expanding Universe","description":"Neurocultures offers glimpses into an expanding universe of knowledge, beliefs and practices characterized by the conviction that human activity is governed by the structure and functioning of the brain. The 1990s were the Decade of the Brain, and the first hundred years of the new millennium have been proclaimed its Century. Described as the most complex of all organs, the brain has become a major icon of contemporary culture. Brain imaging technologies are used in a large number of disciplines, and are increasingly applied in settings of potential social and legal relevance. It is often proclaimed that the neurosciences will bring about major transformations in notions and practices of the human in areas as diverse as spirituality and self-help, marketing, the law, education, or the classification and treatment of mental disease. Neurocultures explores these expectations, their history, their contexts, and the debates they raise, in a broad range of fields, including enhancement, meditation, neuroethics, the social brain, psychedelic research, psychoanalysis, psychiatric and neurological conditions, and cinema and literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Francisco Ortega\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3631598556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783631598559\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.75d","brand":"Francisco Ortega","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446259855615,"sku":"9783631598559","price":88.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8750bc40-d7b5-43e5-8597-2ecc90f2603b.jpg?v=1777223613","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/neurocultures-francisco-ortega-9783631598559","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
