Description:

This course will explore current and emerging ethical issues in neuroscience research. The field of neuroscience is rapidly increasing our knowledge of the human brain and behavior, which has resulted in debate concerning the social and cultural consequences of brain science research. Through discussion of topics including drug enhancement of normal function, ‘brain reading', and the use of advanced neural prostheses, we will investigate the profound social and legal implications of modern neuroscience interventions.
