Workshop on Ethics of Neuroimaging
The philosophy department of Delft University in the Netherlands in conjunction with the 3TU.Centre for Ethics and Technology are hosting a workshop on the Ethics of Neuroimaging on October 4-5, 2007.
This workshop will be a two-day event, targeted at a wide audience consisting of both (a) ethicists and philosophers and (b) engineers and researchers working in the area of neuroimaging technology.
The planned workshop is unique in several respects: (a) in the Netherlands, relatively little attention has thus far been paid to neuroethics; (b) to the best of our knowledge, this is the first workshop exclusively devoted to ethical issues in connection with neuroimaging; (c) the workshop should bring together a wide range of professionals, varying from clinicians and engineers to brain researchers, policy makers and philosophers.
We intend to publish the proceedings either as a booklet or in the form of a special issue of a suitable journal.
Further details are available on the website, including a survey of some of the most pressing ethical issues in neuroimaging.
