{"product_id":"neuroscience-and-society-sukumar-vijayaraghavan-9781032717784","title":"Neuroscience and Society: The Interface of Neuroscience and the Social Sciences","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdvances in neuroscience research are rapidly redefining what it means to be human. The absence of the brain\/mind dichotomy has, in turn, removed the separation between our brain biology and our sociocultural experiences, raising questions for social sciences to address. How responsible are we, as individuals, for our actions? Do we have free will? Is it ethical for us to peer into others' brains? How are our collective social cultural norms influenced by our brain function? At the same time, neuroscientists need to develop better intuition about the ethical, legal, and social implications of their research. Close collaboration between neuroscience and social sciences is the best way forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book acts as an introduction to these and other issues that lie at the interface of neuroscience and social sciences, using the physiological underpinnings of our decision-making processes as a framework.

It is hoped that the book will stimulate cross-disciplinary thinking and inspire a new generation of thinkers who are willing to look at both social sciences and neuroscience research with a different lens. Such bridge builders will be the pioneers of the next level of interrogation at this emerging interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sukumar Vijayaraghavan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032717785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032717784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Sukumar Vijayaraghavan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47244061835519,"sku":"9781032717784","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b187468a-b73d-43de-8fe3-bda10f996e25.jpg?v=1758134844","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/neuroscience-and-society-sukumar-vijayaraghavan-9781032717784","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
