Abstract

Neuroeconomics is a relatively new interdisciplinary field of economics dealing with microeconomics issues such as choice, preferences, utility through exploring the underpinning brain interactions behind human decisions. With the recent development in functional neuroimaging, the field provides a unique opportunity to unlock the black box of human nature and understand human behaviors through mapping and measuring certain brain activation in respect to particular stimulus. Currently, many top universities such as Duke, NYU, University of Pennsylvania, George Mason, and Stanford have research centers on neuroeconomics. This paper discusses promises and pitfalls of neuroeconomics for both conventional and Islamic economics. It particularly examines the potential use of neuroimaging to test economic axioms and hypotheses from Islamic perspective. It also covers two ongoing Islamic neureconomics research projects conducted by Dr. Aydin in collaboration with Dr. Brewer from Yale University, on meditation and gratitude using fMRI. يعد الاقتصاد العصبي مجالًا جديدًا متعدد التخصصات للاقتصاد يتعامل مع قضايا الاقتصاد الجزئي مثل الاختيار والأفضليات والفائدة من خلال استكشاف التفاعلات الداعمة للدماغ وراء القرارات البشرية. مع التطور الأخير في التصوير العصبي الوظيفي ، يوفر الحقل فرصة فريدة لفتح الصندوق الأسود للطبيعة البشرية وفهم السلوكيات البشرية من خلال رسم الخرائط وقياس تنشيط بعض الدماغ فيما يتعلق بالتحفيز معين. يوجد حاليًا في العديد من الجامعات الكبرى مثل ديوك ونيويورك وجامعة بنسلفانيا وجورج ماسون وستانفورد مراكز أبحاث في الاقتصاد العصبي. تناقش هذه الورقة الوعود والمآزق في الاقتصاد العصبي لكل من الاقتصاد التقليدي والإسلامي. ويبحث بشكل خاص الاستخدام المحتمل للتصوير العصبي لاختبار البديهيات الاقتصادية والفرضيات من منظور إسلامي. كما أنه يغطي مشروعين بحثيين في علم الاقتصاد العصبي الإسلامي يجريهما الدكتور أيدين بالتعاون مع الدكتور بروير من جامعة ييل ، حول التأمل والامتنان باستخدام الرنين المغناطيسي الوظيفي.
