[[Cognitive neuroscience]] addresses the questions of how [[mental process|psychological functions]] are produced by [[biological neural network|neural circuitry]]. The emergence of powerful new measurement techniques such as [[neuroimaging]] (e.g., [[fMRI]], [[Positron emission tomography|PET]], [[SPECT]]), [[electroencephalography|EEG]], [[Magnetoencephalography|MEG]], [[electrophysiology]], [[optogenetics]] and [[Human genome|human genetic analysis]] combined with sophisticated [[experimental techniques]] from [[cognitive psychology]] allows [[neuroscientist]]s and [[psychologist]]s to address abstract questions such as how cognition and emotion are mapped to specific neural substrates. Although many studies hold a reductionist stance looking for the neurobiological basis of cognitive phenomena, recent research shows that there is an interplay between neuroscientific findings and conceptual research, soliciting and integrating both perspectives. For example, neuroscience research on empathy solicited an interdisciplinary debate involving philosophy, psychology and psychopathology.<ref>Aragona M, Kotzalidis GD, Puzella A.

Neuroscience is also allied with the [[social science|social]] and [[behavioral sciences]], as well as with nascent interdisciplinary fields. Examples of such alliances include [[neuroeconomics]], [[decision theory]], [[social neuroscience]], and [[neuromarketing]] to address complex questions about interactions of the brain with its environment. A study into consumer responses for example uses EEG to investigate neural correlates associated with [[Transportation theory (psychology)|narrative transportation]] into stories about [[Efficient energy use|energy efficiency]].<ref>{{Cite journal | doi=10.1108/EJM-12-2016-0881|title = Using EEG to examine the role of attention, working memory, emotion, and imagination in narrative transportation| journal=European Journal of Marketing| volume=52| pages=92–117|year = 2018|last1 = Gordon|first1 = Ross| last2=Ciorciari| first2=Joseph| last3=Van Laer| first3=Tom |ssrn=2892967|url = https://openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprint/18069/1/PDF_Proof.PDF}}</ref>
