Cultural neuroscience is a fascinating interdisciplinary field that explores how culture and neurobiology interact to shape human behavior, cognition, and emotions. In his resent publication, Cultural Neuroscience (2025), Dr. Mosi Dorbayani has explored the intersection of neuroscience and cultural activities. In his work, he emphasizes how cultural surroundings influence neurobiological systems, which in turn affect emotional and cognitive functions. For instance, his research highlights how cultural tools like music or movies can help individuals manage stress, navigate emotions, and find happiness.

Dr. Dorbayani’s work in neuroscience emphasizes the profound connection between cultural activities and neurobiological systems. He has also contributed significantly to the field of cultural diplomacy and public policy, blending his expertise in neuroscience with his passion for fostering cross-cultural understanding. Dr. Dorbayani’s academic and professional journey spans multiple disciplines, including psychology, international law, business economics, public policy and cultural diplomacy – backed by thirty-two years of executive experience, business consulting, government advisory, and teaching in higher education.
His resent published research highlights the profound impact of cultural activities on neurobiological systems and emotional well-being. Here are some key findings:
- Cultural Tools and Emotional Regulation: His studies show that engaging with cultural tools like artistic products can help individuals manage stress, navigate emotions, and find happiness.
- Cultural Neuroscience and Brain Processes: He emphasizes the importance of understanding how cultural surroundings influence brain processes, which traditional neuroscience often overlooks. This approach sheds light on how cultural diversity shapes cognition and behavior.
- Mental Health and Social Issues: His work explores how cultural engagement can address social issues like mental health challenges and prejudices, offering insights into improving societal interactions.
- Cultural Diplomacy, Perception and Societal Progress: In his research output, Dr. Dorbayani connects neuroscience with public policy, showing how cultural diplomacy fosters mutual understanding, positive perceptions, and societal progress.
Cultural neuroscience is a captivating interdisciplinary field of study and research that explores how culture and neurobiology interact to shape human behavior, cognition, and emotions. It integrates theories and methods from anthropology, psychology, and neuroscience to understand how cultural environments influence brain processes and vice versa. On that note, Dr. Dorbayani who is a Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol – BPS), and an award-winning author and scholar has made notable contributions to the intersection of neuroscience and cultural studies. By examining the relationship between neurobiology and cultural environments, his research provides insights into mental health, social interactions, and learning patterns.
One of the book’s strengths is its interdisciplinary approach, blending neuroscience with cultural diversity to address gaps in traditional studies. It emphasizes the importance of understanding cultural heterogeneity in brain processes, offering fresh perspectives on human cognition and behavior. The book also highlights practical applications, such as using cultural engagement to manage stress and foster happiness.
Dr. Dorbayani’s writing is both accessible and thought-provoking, making complex scientific concepts relatable to a broad audience. This work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the dynamic relationship between culture and neurobiology, from academics to policymakers.
