Cultural Neuroscience: Bridging Cultural and Biological Sciences
Joan Chiao, Assistant Professor, Northwestern University,
Cultural neuroscience is an emerging research field examining how cultural values, practices and beliefs affect neural and genetic processes across multiple time scales. In this talk, I will describe evidence of cultural variation in neural and genomic processing underlying social and emotional brain functioning. Implications of these findings for public policy and population health disparities in a globalized world will be discussed.
