Critical Neuroscience probes the extent to which discussion ofÌýneuroscience-in ethical debates, policy texts, commercial and clinicalÌýprojects-matches the achievements and potential of neuroscience itself. ItÌýexamines the ways in which the new sciences and technologies of the brainÌýlead to classifying people in new ways, and the effects this can have onÌýsocial and personal life. It studies both the methods used to gain newÌýknowledge, and the ways in which the knowledge is interpreted and used.ÌýThe project hopes to introduce our observations into brain researchÌýitself, and to integrate them into new experimental and interpretiveÌýdirections.

'Neuroanthropology' is a broad term, intended to embrace all dimensions ofÌýhuman neural activity, including emotion, perception, cognitive, motorÌýcontrol, skill acquisition, and a range of other issues. Unlike previousÌýways of doing psychological or cognitive anthropology, it remains open andÌýheterogeneous, recognizing that not all brain systems function in the sameÌýway, so culture will not take hold of them in identical fashion. AlthoughÌýwe believe that human neural structure is biological and the product ofÌýevolution, we also recognize that the development processes shaping eachÌýindividual include a host of other forces as well, so that we cannotÌýprivilege any single cause over all other.
