【AS Conference】 Why anthropology needs knowledge of neuroscience? A call for collaborations

By reviewing perspectives of social neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, embodiment, and neuroanthropology, this paper proposes how anthropologists may like to reconsider their concepts of culture and construct theories more compatible with contemporary knowledge.
