Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the 1st Summer Institute in Cultural Neuroscience. If you are interested in pursuing issues related to social and cultural psychology with neuromeasures or issues on the brain within sociocultural context, you may find the institute quite useful. Graduate students can earn credits for their own institutions.
If you have any questions please feel free to write to me at kitayama@umich.edu. For information on the newly founded Center for Culture, Mind, and the Brain at the U of Michigan, visit:

Best regards,
Shinobu Kitayama
