Like space travelers, the spectacular technological advances in our knowledge as to how the brain works, is allowing scientists to explore regions that until now have been out of reach. As basic research extends our understanding of what is going on in the brain, that efficiency needs to be increased through translational research, integrating not only the fields of molecular and cellular biology, neurophysiology, and cognitive science but also incorporating neuroethics in order to address issues of values.
The goal of the Neuroethics Network is to expand the dialogue by promoting interdisciplinary interactions. ICM, located on the campus of Hospital Pitié-Salpêtière where researchers, physicians, and patients are brought together under one roof, is an unprecedented meeting point to foster this critical multi-faceted approach.
The Neuroethics Network aims at creating a deeper understanding of newly emerging ethical issues in neuroscience. In 2018 we are introducing the Athenaeum seminars, named for the place in ancient Greece for open discussion, designed to offer maximum opportunity for in depth exploration of central controversies.
Seminar themes for 2018 include: Theory of Mind: Philosophical Considerations and Practical Implications, New Developments in Imaging along with Legal and Social Concerns, Deep Brain Stimulation and Recording, and Consciousness: Building Bridges. These sessions consist of round-tale discussions with leaders in science and ethics lending their multiple perspectives along with Open Forum group participation. In addition to the seminars there are scheduled laboratory meetings with ICM researchers to observe current projects.
