你是否能夠想像，未來的某一天，我們的腦袋可以被神經科學的技術讀取？ 不管是我們的思想、記憶或情緒，都有可能被影響。 這堂課我們將來探討，當這些科技的進步，我們的倫理規範也必須跟上，才能避免這些科技傷害了我們身為人類的自由和權利！(更多......)

Neuroethics is often defined as encompassing both the ethics of neuroscience and the neuroscience of ethics. This course will examine each of these two facets. We will discuss the ethical dilemmas raised by recent advances in neuroscience, which allow for unprecedented insight into our thoughts, and into the sources of our actions: for instance, do “brain-reading” technologies pose a threat to fundamental rights such as freedom of thought or mental privacy, and what does this imply for how these technologies should be regulated? Does current knowledge in neuroscience undermine traditional philosophical notions like free will and responsibility? We will also consider the extent to which interventions like deep brain stimulation might alter who we fundamentally are, as well as the ethical relevance of conscious experience in (minimally conscious) patients with brain damage. Finally, we will discuss the ethics of using cutting edge “neuro-interventions” to enhance our cognitive capacities and moral dispositions, and to re-write unpleasant memories, whether “normal” or traumatic in nature.
