Frank Krueger is Professor of Systems Social Neuroscience in the School of Systems Biology at George Mason University, USA. As a psychologist, physicist, and neuroscientist, he has authored or co-authored, approximately 170 publications in scientific journals and has been cited as an expert in the national news media and television such as The New York Times, New Scientist, The Economist, and PBS News Hour.

'This multidisciplinary volume of essays is based on cutting-edge research on the neurobiological underpinnings of trust. It highlights important findings as well as new and promising avenues for future research and makes an important contribution to the trust literature.' Alexandra Mislin, American University, USA
