    Neuroethics

    Uploaded by

    Anagha Nair
    Neuroethics examines the ethical implications of neuroscience research and its applications. As neuroscience advances, it raises complex social and philosophical issues. New technologies can provide benefits for diagnosis and treatment but also enable invasive alterations of cognition and behavior, challenging concepts of personal responsibility and free will. Neuroethics aims to facilitate discussions on these topics and ensure neuroscience progress is developed and applied responsibly and for the benefit of individuals and society. Continued neuroethics research and consideration will be important as neuroscience technologies continue to evolve.
