About this listen

The episode is an excerpt from the book "The Oxford Handbook of Cultural Neuroscience", which explores the intersection between culture and the human brain. The book seeks to understand how culture shapes brain development, cognition and mental health. The excerpt explores topics such as the role of culture in sensory perception, language development, the influence of culture on social behaviors and the neurobiology of mental illness, all within a cross-cultural context. The aim is to challenge the traditionally universalist view of neuroscience by acknowledging cultural diversity and its implications for the functioning of the human brain and mind.
