The Political Brain

The Emergence of Neuropolitics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

We have politics on our mindâ or, rather, we have politics in different parts of our brains. In this path-breaking study, Matt Qvortrup takes the reader on a whistle stop tour through the fascinating, and sometimes frightening, world of neuropolitics; the discipline that combines neuroscience and politics, and is even being used to win elections.
