Decision-making is an integral part of our daily lives. Researchers seek a complete understanding of the decision-making process, including the biological and social basis and the impact of our decisions. From DNA to Social Cognition fills a gap in the literature that brings together the methods, perspectives, and knowledge of the geneticists, neuroscientists, economists, and psychologists that are integral to this field of research. The editors' unique expertise ensures an integrated and complete compilation of materials that will prove useful to researchers and scientists interested in social cognition and decision-making.
Dr. Richard Ebstein (Editor) is one of the leaders in the field of personality genetics and human behavioral genetics. He is Professor and head of the Scheinfeld Center at the Hebrew University. He has published widely and his work was recently highlighted in a Science magazine issue devoted to behavioral genetics [Holden C (2008) Parsing the genetics of behavior. Science 322(5903):892-895]. Dr. Soo Hong Chew (Editor) is a leading economist and has made important contributions to economic theory. He is Professor at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Professor Chew will provide the expertise on game theory and its application to behavioral economics and neuroeconomics. Dr. Simone Shamay-Tsoory (Editor) has expertise in the neural correlates of emotions and social cognition, particularly empathy and "theory of mind".
