Neurobiology and the humanities

Neuron. 2014 Oct 1;84(1):12-14. doi: 10.1016/j.neuron.2014.09.016.

Abstract

Can the arts and humanities contribute significantly to the study of the brain? Similar brain processes are involved in humanistic and scientific inference, and in this essay, I argue that conclusions reached by one are relevant to the other.
