The Emory Neuroscience Program in collaboration with the Center for Ethics will present the second annual Neuroethics symposium on Monday, May 02, from 1-5 in the School of Medicine, Room 110 (see flyer attached).
The topic to be discussed this year is “BRAIN ENHANCEMENT: COULD WE DO IT? SHOULD WE? WHO SAYS?”
Three of our first year students supported by the Neuroscience training grant, David Nicholson, Lukas Hoffman and Tyra Lamar have worked hard to put together this event and I hope that each of you will free themselves that afternoon to attend this unique and exciting event.
They have put together a list of four speakers who will address the ethical issues of Cognitive Enhancement from a scientific and moral point of view and discuss the impact of Brain Enhancement of Human Mind and Evolution.
The list of speakers are:
STEVE POTTER, PHD, GA Tech/Emory
“ Electrical brain stimulation technology: As a research tool, as a medical therapy, and for cognitive enhancement"
JAMES HUGHES, PhD, IEET, Trinity College
“"Becoming a Better Person: Using Neurotechnology to Enhance Happiness, Virtue and Spiritual Experience"
MICHAEL KUHAR, Emory University
“Drug Enhancers: Their Pharmacological Profiles, Mechanisms of Action and Potential Long Term Effects on Human Brain”
HAVA SAMUELSON, PhD, Arizona State University
"The Freedom to Be Human: A Critique of Transhumanism"
