In recent years, neuroscience has expanded to inform questions in social sciences, from how individuals make economic choices to how cultural values shape political and economic decisions. This symposium brings together leading researchers at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience, and political science to explore how neuroscience can inform our understanding of emotion and decision-making in social, cultural, and political contexts. This session highlights both the promise and challenges of applying neuroscience to broader social science fields with the aim to advance our understanding of human emotion and decision-making in real world social contexts.

本学はこれまで、社会科学分野における国内外のリーダーシップを担う多くの人材を輩出し、深い洞察と批判的思考を備えた研究者や実務家を育成してまいりました。その伝統を礎に、本学社会科学高等研究院(Hitotsubashi Institute for Advanced Study: HIAS)脳科学研究センター(HIAS Brain Research Center: HIAS-BRC)では、脳機能計測と社会科学の知見とを融合させ、人間の意思決定、認知、社会的相互作用といった複雑な行動の神経メカニズムの解明に取り組んでいます。
