Today it suddenly comes to me the idea "Positive Neuroscience". When I google it, interestingly I find U. of Pennsylvania and Templeton foundation have established a award for innovative research in the intersection between positive psychology (which give insights about human positive mental function like happiness) and neuroscience.
Science had a report about it.
Submission of research has reached the deadline (Sep. 30, 2009). What a pity:).
Maybe it will become another research trend of psychological research or NBIC related topics.

或许出国的朋友都很清楚,美国的Templeton基金会是专门投资研究某些深奥哲学问题(或本质问题)的一个著名组织。例如进化能解释人类本性吗?
今天突然想到积极神经科学这个词,网上一搜。很巧,就在今年8月份,宾夕法尼亚大学建立了Templeton积极神经科学奖,用于鼓励神经科学与积极心理学的交叉研究。
Science对它做了报道。
很可惜,我查到的时候该奖项已经停止了申请(该链接在大陆已被墙。。。)。

各位群里研究积极心理学的朋友,请多和神经科学家交流。这会是下一个热潮吗?
