What is neuroethics
Neuroethics is an interdisciplinary research area that focuses on ethical issues raised by our ever increasing understanding of the brain and our ability to monitor and influence it, as well as on ethical issues that emerge from our concomitant deepening understanding of the biological bases of agency and ethical decision-making.
In recognition of the ethical issues raised by advancements in neuroinformatics, INCF has partnered with the International Neuroethics Society (INS) to deliver a webinar series to advance ethical practices in neuroscience and neuroinformatics research. INS is a professional association of scientists, scholars, students, and practicing legal and health professionals leading discussion on the complex ethical issues arising from brain research and an expanding understanding of the mind. Experts in the ethical, legal, and societal impacts of advances in neuroscience, Society members are uniquely equipped to communicate the value and implications that new knowledge, technologies, and potential applications may bring to human health and wellbeing.
