From the Brain to Human Culture: Intersections Between the Humanities, Cognitive Science, and Neuroscience

Recent advances in cognitive science and neuroscience (CSN) have allowed scientists to begin to address questions that were heretofore considered the province of the humanities. Growing out of a 2007 conference at Bucknell University, this special issue explores recent research in many different areas that combines the methods and perspectives of both the humanities and CSN.
