The goal of this review is to look up research studies, that have by using the functional or electrophysiological methods investigated the activation of cortical parts of brain during reading or narrating a story (narrative or discourse), and by using reviews give the overview of the results which the selected works achieved. The first part of the report is devoted to the contemporary children reading in educational contexts in literary education. In the second part an overview of research studies mapping the activation of cortical parts of the brain during the process of reading and the understanding of narrative/discourse is provided. As a source of data, the following databases were used (2007–2012): Medline, Bibliomedica, Science Direct, Web of Science, Google Scholar. 16 studies were included in the analysis. It has come to light, that the identified works considered the specifics of pubescent and prepubescent readers only in few isolated cases, yet in spite of that, gave extensive overview about the options that can be used to clarify the mechanisms of the process of reading a narrative text on the level of cortical activation of the brain. Sixteen research studies were included in the analysis. In the evaluated articles, great importance has been given to the research of activity of brain parts/hemispheres in the process of construction of the so called situational models (during the segmentation of the narrative into individual parts/events) and defining contrasts that characterize neural correlates of inferential processes.

Neuroteologie ve vztahu k teologii a religionistice

Theology and religious studies have been draw to the context of the natural sciences since the beginning of the twentieth century at the latest. The natural sciences in general and neuroscience in particular, seek to answer the question of the origin and nature of the religious phenomenon apart from the theology and religious studies. Andrew Newberg defined the field of neurotheology and due to his definition presented neurotheology as a partner for theology and religion. The article deals with the method of neurotheology and with its relation to theology and religious studies.

Science-art collaborations are a growth area. An example is the Wellcome Collection exhibition “States of Mind”. I focus on one work yellowbluepink by Ann Veronica Janssens. As framed within the exhibition this piece is understood to present a model of spectatorship in which the art-encounter prompts an awareness of the p o s s i b i l i t y of neuroscientific self-understanding. I take it that science-art projects want to spread this celebration of “objective thought”; this is their realist agenda. The scientific framing of yellowbluepink fails in this regard because of a striking contradiction at its heart. The dominant art historical interpretation of this piece includes a spectator who is “decentred”, u n a b l e to know him or herself. This contradiction creates a methodological problem for the project, one that negatively impacts its ability to a m b i t i o u s l y promote its agenda. On the basis of this analysis I sketch out the conditions for an ambitious project. It would need to acknowledge the “artworld” and it would require the invention of a new model of spectatorship, one that promoted (self)-awareness of humankinds’ impressive epistemic capacity. This anti-phenomenological figure is formulated with reference to the nemocentric subject.

The idea of mind uploading or mind transfer is based on a mechanistic and materialistic percep-tion of the mind. One version of artificial intelligence theory and computer functionalism pro-claims that even computers can have thoughts, experiences and the ability to sense. This point of view is shared by supporters of transhumanism, who hold the opinion that in the near future technological developments will let us build a computer capable of consciousness, which will contribute towards the creation of a technological singularity.

Jednym z wielu paradygmatów, który uległ w ostatnich latach znaczącej zmianie, jest paradygmat człowieka racjonalnego (homo oeconomicus), który jest wspólny dla całego obszaru nauk ekonomicznych. W ich obrębie nauki o zarządzaniu najwcześniej przyjęły paradygmat o wpływie kognitywności oraz emocjonalności człowieka na jego ekonomiczne zachowanie i decyzje. Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie ewolucji tego paradygmatu od homo oeconomicusa do homo neuroeconomicusa.

One of many paradigms, that have been changed in recent years, is the economic man (homo oeconomicus) paradigm, which is common for the whole area of economic sciences. In their range, management sciences as the first adopted the paradigm about the influence of human cognition and emotionality on economic behaviour and decisions. The article discusses the concept of the homo oeconomicus in economics and management. The aim of the paper is to introduce the evolution of this paradigm from the homo oeconomicus to the homo neuroeconomicus.
