  • Title: Just because you're imaging the brain doesn't mean you can stop using your head: a primer and set of first principles.
    Author: Cacioppo JT, Berntson GG, Lorig TS, Norris CJ, Rickett E, Nusbaum H.
    Journal: J Pers Soc Psychol; 2003 Oct; 85(4):650-61. PubMed ID: 14561119.
    Abstract:
    Developments within the neurosciences, cognitive sciences, and social sciences have contributed to the emergence of social neuroscience. Among the most obvious contemporary developments are brain-imaging procedures such as functional magnetic resonance imaging. The authors outline a set of first principles designed to help make sense of brain-imaging research within the fields of cognitive and social neuroscience. They begin with a principle few would debate--that social cognition, emotion, and behavior involve the brain--but whose implications might not be entirely obvious to those new to the field. The authors conclude that (a). complex aspects of the mind and behavior will benefit from yet a broader collaboration of neuroscientists, cognitive scientists, and social scientists, and (b). social psychologists bring important theoretical, methodological, and statistical expertise to this interdisciplinary enterprise.
