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.
