    Remarkable developments have been recently made in the understanding of human, and of human mind, through neuroscience. Neuroimaging technologies to measure and quantify states of human mind, neuro-analytical technologies to interpret these states and neuro-application technologies to give meanings to and control them have greatly contributed to such advancements. This article firstly explains each of the technologies and suggests how to manage them better. Secondly, the article discusses how these technologies could be applied to the business management context, for businesspersons and corporate managers, in particular.

    Understanding humans from subjective as well as objective perspectives is vital to both brain science and organizational science. Decision-making process made by individuals and groups are based highly on implicit processes that are under influences of various social situations and other persons. And yet, we do not often realize the unconscious nature of our own behaviors and decisions. By presenting several examples from psychology, cognitive science and brain science, this paper explores the possibility of fruitful interactions between brain science and organizational science.

    This review article explains that in order to further develop the emerging field of neuroeconomics, it is important to incorporate discoveries from psychophysics (a discipline which examines the relationship between physical inputs and psychological responses to them) into modelling strategies in neuroeconomics. Firstly, temporal discounting, one of the most important economic decisions, is introduced, and then it is analyzed, by utilizing the framework of psychophysical neuroeconomics (an approach combining psychophysics and neuroeconomics). Secondly, the article illustrates the roles of neurobiological substrates (e.g., neurotransmitters and neurosteroids) in temporal discounting. In addition, findings in our neurogenetic studies on the modulation of temporal discounting behavior by stress and reward systems are introduced, and how these neuroeconomic studies can help us develop biomedical treatments for problematic behaviors (e.g., addiction and suicide) are addressed. Lastly, the article discusses topics in management sciences (e.g., allocation of time, work leisure balance and business ethics), by employing the analytical frameworks of probability and social discounting.
