Abstract
As a consequence of significant development of neurosciences several different scientific fields as neuroeducation, neuroesthetics, nerotheology, neuromarketing etc. had been established. Neuroeconomics is interdisciplinary scientific field that has aim to explain neurological mechanisms of decision making process, mental ability of consideration of several possible alternatives, and ability to follow certain direction of action. Neuroeconomics is based on research methods, techniques and models that are overtaken from neurosciences, but also from cognitive and social psychology, as well as from experimental and behavioral economics. In practical sense, neuroeconomics is mainly involved in situations in which humans are not behaving according to rational model, but rather according to innate and adapted schemes of behavior and due to their strong emotional reaction. In this way, knowledge from the scientific fields of neurology and neurosciences that are obtained mainly by usage of neuroimaging, are used in example to investigate market or to determine functioning of employees in critical situations. This kind of practical approach opens several ethical and legal dilemmas..
