The ongoing interdisciplinary research between the fields of theatre and neuroscience provides a fascinating and fruitful area of study and experimentation for artists and scientists alike; here Clelia Falletti, Gabriele Sofia and Victor Jacono have collected contributions with an international range, from neuroscientists, theatre scholars and practitioners, to give as full a picture as possible of a realm of exploration which is still undergoing rapid change and development. Falletti, Sofia and Jacono are theatre scholars who share a two-fold interest in neuroscience: firstly, this interest stems from their consideration that the discipline of theatre pertains 'to the vast territory of the "human sciences"' (p. xv), and secondly, it relates to their belief, which I share, that theatre scholars should not limit themselves to literary interpretations, but take an interdisciplinary perspective drawing on humanities, sciences and practice-based approaches in order to fully understand the complexity of the relationship between actor and audience.

戏剧与认知神经科学

戏剧和神经科学领域之间正在进行的跨学科研究为艺术家和科学家提供了一个引人入胜且富有成果的研究和实验领域；在这里，Clelia Falletti、Gabriele Sofia 和 Victor Jacono 收集了来自神经科学家、戏剧学者和从业者的国际范围的贡献，尽可能全面地描绘了一个仍在快速变化和发展的探索领域。Falletti、Sofia 和 Jacono 是戏剧学者，他们对神经科学有两方面的兴趣：首先，这种兴趣源于他们的考虑，即戏剧学科属于“人文科学的广阔领域”（第 15 页），其次，它与我分享的他们的信仰有关，
