Original, interdisciplinary approach explores the creative potential for engaging experimental neuroscience with social studies of neuroscienceFurthers the dialogue between neuroscience and the disciplines of the social sciences and humanitiesTranscends traditional scepticism, introducing novel ideas about 'how to be critical' in and about scienceFeatur.
