NEUROSCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS IN A MODERN SOCIAL LEARNING

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of using a relatively new scientific phenomenon – neuroscientific methodology – in a range of scientific disciplines (for instance, neuroeconomics, cultural neuroscience, neuropedagogy and others). The paper introduces the examples of projects and initiatives, taking place these days to develop scientific cognition. Special attention is paid to the prospect of using these methods in socio-behavioral aspects studies, including in the organizational frames. The approaches to the understanding of social neuroscience and neurosociology are given. The main dangers of sociologists (which resist active implementation of progressive methods in traditional science, including such phenomenon as «biophobia»), are mentioned. The paper introduces the publications, which have a purpose to study neuroscientific methods in a practical field: the innovative ideas, which could be realized in the sphere of human resources due to achievement of neuromanagement and neuroleadership, are noted. There are conclusions made by the authors of the research which was aimed to study neurophysiological stimulus of decision-taking in different circumstances. There are key objections, which usually appear relating to neuroscientific instruments, used in the frame of behavioral aspects study. A short characteristic of experiment showing brain activity processes and its correlation with practical role of different spheres leaders are mentioned. A brief overview of the materials of the scientific and practical conference held on the topic of neuroproject management – a scientific field aimed at studying organizational processes in which the team plays a special role – is given.
