Recently we have seen a growing interaction between the natural, medical, social and humanistic sciences. The sciences have accumulated knowledge about the natural and biological world. The humanities and social sciences have accumulated knowledge about the human and social world. Together we now have a science of the human. And it was the exploration of the mind that brought the scientists in this book together. In these state-of-the-art contributions, MINDLab scholars at Aarhus University attempt to deal with humanity's most urgent and age-old questions.
