Abstract
In this article we discuss the ways in which Pacific Rim collaborations have enriched the neuroimaging field and suggest topics in cognitive neuroscience that could benefit from increased collaborations (e.g., cultural influences on language and emotional processing). We encourage researchers to broaden their scientific horizons by considering the kinds of questions that need to be addressed by researchers from different backgrounds and nationalities, and the common tools they need. Human neuroimaging is multi-disciplinary and collaborative in nature, and we will all benefit if more of us pursue this to the fullest extent possible, within the Pacific Rim and beyond.
