北京大學(xué)心理學(xué)系韓世輝教授2008年7月21日在《自然—神經(jīng)學(xué)評(píng)論》(Nature Review Neuroscience)雜志上發(fā)表論文,系統(tǒng)介紹了自己和他人在跨文化腦成像研究領(lǐng)域的研究工作。
跨文化腦成像研究使用功能磁共振、事件相關(guān)電位等腦成像研究手段,通過比較具有不同文化背景人群在完成各種認(rèn)知活動(dòng)中的大腦神經(jīng)活動(dòng)的差異,,闡明文化對(duì)人類大腦認(rèn)知活動(dòng)神經(jīng)基礎(chǔ)的影響。目前的研究主要通過比較東亞人群(包括中國人、日本人,、韓國人等)和歐美人群(美國人,、歐洲人等)以及具有不同宗教信仰的人群,,在知覺、注意,、計(jì)算,、語言和音樂、情緒,、自我等心理活動(dòng)神經(jīng)機(jī)制方面的差別,,闡明在人類文化背景下的大腦神經(jīng)可塑性的規(guī)律??缥幕X成像研究產(chǎn)生于自然科學(xué)(神經(jīng)科學(xué),、心理學(xué)、物理學(xué)等)和人文科學(xué)(哲學(xué),、人類學(xué)等)的高度交叉,,是一個(gè)跨學(xué)科的新領(lǐng)域。
北京大學(xué)學(xué)心理學(xué)系韓世輝教授和朱瀅教授等在這一領(lǐng)域里開展了比較系統(tǒng)的研究工作,并獲得重要研究成果,。韓世輝教授還將在第六屆國際認(rèn)知科學(xué)大會(huì)上做大會(huì)報(bào)告,,系統(tǒng)介紹這一領(lǐng)域的最新進(jìn)展。(生物谷Bioon.com)

Culture-sensitive neural substrates of human cognition: a transcultural neuroimaging approach
Shihui Han1 & Georg Northoff2
Abstract
Our brains and minds are shaped by our experiences, which mainly occur in the context of the culture in which we develop and live. Although psychologists have provided abundant evidence for diversity of human cognition and behaviour across cultures, the question of whether the neural correlates of human cognition are also culture-dependent is often not considered by neuroscientists. However, recent transcultural neuroimaging studies have demonstrated that one's cultural background can influence the neural activity that underlies both high- and low-level cognitive functions. The findings provide a novel approach by which to distinguish culture-sensitive from culture-invariant neural mechanisms of human cognition.
