After all, over the past decade we’ve seen neuroscience applied in all sorts of social contexts – marketing, entertainment, mental health, politics, and the law – where its role is less clear and, by most accounts, inappropriate.  But the question remains: how do we know what neuroscience can – and can’t – teach us about ourselves?</p>
