Short content

The student will be familiarized with current methods of brain research in the domain of social phenomena. Two dillemas will also be analysed: is brain activity localized or holistic, and are neuroscientific, psychological and sociological aproaches to research mutually compatible or not. The relevance of the new approach for traditional social science will be evaluated.
