Is the everyday understanding of belief susceptible to scientific
investigation? Belief is one of the most commonly used, yet
unexplained terms in neuroscience. Beliefs can be seen as forms of
mental representations and one of the building blocks of our
conscious thoughts. This book provides an interdisciplinary
overview of what we currently know about the neural basis of human
belief systems, and how different belief systems are implemented in
the human brain. The chapters in this volume explain how the neural
correlates of beliefs mediate a range of explicit and implicit
behaviours ranging from moral decision making, to the practice of
religion. Drawing inferences from philosophy, psychology,
psychiatry, religion, and cognitive neuroscience, the book has
important implications for understanding how different belief
systems are implemented in the human brain, and outlines the
directions which research on the cognitive neuroscience of beliefs
should take in the future. The Neural Basis of Human Belief Systems
will be of great interest to researchers in the fields of
psychology, philosophy, psychiatry, and cognitive neuroscience.

Trust is essential for establishing and maintaining cooperative
behaviors between individuals and institutions in a wide variety of
social, economic, and political contexts. This book explores trust
through the lens of neurobiology, focusing on empirical,
methodological, and theoretical aspects. Written by a distinguished
group of researchers from economics, psychology, human factors,
neuroscience, and psychiatry, the chapters shed light on the
neurobiological underpinnings of trust as applied in a variety of
domains. Researchers and students will discover a refined
understanding of trust by delving into the essential topics in this
area of study outlined by leading experts.
