This breakthrough volume brings together cultural neuroscience and intercultural relations in an expansive presentation. Its selected topics in reasoning, memory, and other key cognitive areas bridge the neuroscience behind culture-related phenomena with the complex social processes involved in seeing the world through the perspective of others. Coverage ranges beyond the familiar paradigms of acculturation and cultural differences to propose new ideas of potential benefit to the new generation of immigrants, negotiators, executives, and other travelers. Taken together, these chapters offer a deeper understanding of issues that can only become more important as the world becomes smaller and our global family larger.
Among the topics featured:
- Intergroup relationship and empathy for others' pain: a social neuroscience approach.
- The neuroscience of bilingualism: cross-linguistic influences and cognitive effects.
- Cross-cultural reading the mind in the eyes and its consequences for international relations.
- Implications of behavioral and neuroscience research for cross-cultural training.
- Intercultural relations and the perceptual brain: a cognitive neuroscience perspective.
- How social dynamics shape our understanding of reality.
With its elegant perspectives and empirical depth, Neuroscience in Intercultural Contexts is a forward-looking reference for researchers in the cultural sciences (cross-cultural psychologists, anthropologists, etc.) and in social, affective, and cognitive neuroscience.

"That cultural differences strongly influence human behaviors, we all have long guessed, at least since Helen of Troy, if not earlier. "Neuroscience in Intercultural Contexts" by Warnick and Landis provides a much needed, timely and solid scientific framework behind these phenomena. The book offers an authoritative, up-to-date summary of 'hardcore" neuroscience research underlying human culture-related behavioral differences. As Plato once noted, human behavior flows from desire, emotion and knowledge. Because the book comprehensively (and in an exceptionally engaging manner) addresses the cross-cultural aspects of all these three main sources, it will be a useful, thought-provoking reading for both established scholars and curious student minds. Equally importantly, the book builds logical bridges between personalized psychology and personalized medicine - another important topic that is logically related to those discussed here."

"In this pioneering volume, Warnick and Landis present a collection of some of the best cutting-edge works in cultural neuroscience. Each chapter offers a solid empirical grounding for, and a cogently formed neuroscience-based insight into, how cultural differences in human mind are likely to shape the experiences of interacting with people across cultural boundaries. Together, the chapters help to clarify and deepen our current understanding of the brain-culture interface, and serve as a significant impetus for the continuing development and integration of the fields of cultural neuroscience and intercultural relations."
