Eurocentrism is the practice of viewing the world from a European perspective and with an implied belief, either consciously or subconsciously, in the preeminence of European culture.

Man, why don't they talk about all the scientific advancements that other cultures contributed to modern civilization too? There's Eurocentrism for you.

eurocentrism 

When you eliminate or omit the perspective and/or contributions (good or bad) of a group of people, usually people of color.

The show "Friends" and "Cheers" have eurocentrism themes, how many people of color did you see on these shows?

Can you say you live in a world in which you don't have any contact with someone of color? Few, if any can.

Egocentrism 

Unable and unwilling to see a better way, only believing that what they believe is the right way.

Egocentrism at it's best?

Neurocentrism

A theoretical stance that places the brain at the absolute centre of explanations of human experience, marginalising or neglecting the role of the body (neuroembodiment), environment, technology, and social relations. Neurocentrism treats the brain as an “isolated computer” that processes inputs and produces outputs, ignoring that the brain is part of a body‑world system. Critics argue that neurocentrism is an inverted dualism: it separates the brain from the rest of the organism and its environment, something that ecological neuroscience has already overcome. It leads to a narrow, laboratory‑based view of human nature that cannot account for context‑dependent, situated cognition.

NeurocentrismExample: “A neurocentrism professor said: ‘The mind is what the brain does.’ A student asked: ‘Then a brain in a jar would have a mind?’ The professor hesitated – and the student spotted the neurocentrism trap.”

Neurocentrism

The broader belief that the brain is the central, most important, or only organ relevant to understanding mind and behavior, and that other levels of explanation (psychological, social, cultural, economic) are either reducible to neuroscience or irrelevant. Neurocentrism manifests in funding priorities (brain research over public health), in the claim that “mental illness is brain disease” (ignoring life history and social context), and in the dismissal of talk therapy as “not biological.” Critics argue that neurocentrism is a form of biological reductionism that impoverishes our understanding of persons.

Neurocentrism Example: “The neurocentrist insisted that schizophrenia is just a brain disorder, ignoring that social support and meaningful work are as predictive of outcomes as medication. He reduced a person to their dopamine receptors.”
