SUMMARY:Is My Mind Mine? The Ethical\, Social\, and Legal Challenges of Modern Neuroscience
DESCRIPTION:Registration required \nFor the first time in human history\, we are developing the ability to apprehend information directly from the brain. Brain imaging and allied technologies now allow scientists a glimpse into the subjective thoughts and inner dialogues that have always been private and inaccessible to others. By doing so\, they are forever changing the very idea of privacy\, raising thorny questions about who should have access to our innermost thoughts. In this talk\, we explore the implications of brain imaging not only for personal privacy\, but also for legal questions such as Fifth Amendment protections. \n\nDo we have an absolute or relative right to cognitive privacy? Forensics\, Security\, Civil\, School\, Parental — for what and on whom will it be used?\n\n\nWill we allow covert use? Who will assume what roles in deciding if the technology is accurate\, safe\, proper? Courts\, legislature\, psychologists\, legal scholars\, ethicists?\n\n\nWhat do we mean by “normal brains ” as we manipulate and alter our brain chemistry? How might we expand our ideas of brain function as we integrate information technology into our neural circuitry?\n\n\nHow much are we willing to change our ways of thought\, feeling\, and perceiving? How do we balance ideals of selfhood from ethics\, religion\, and cultural traditions with ideas of progress and individual liberty?\n\nWill the new neurotechnologies threaten our current conceptions of selfhood\, relationship?\nThis workshop has been approved for continuing education credits for LPC\, LMFT\, Social Workers and School Counselors. CME and CNE continuing education is currently under review. \nPaul Root Wolpe\, Ph.D. is the Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Bioethics\, Raymond Schinazi Distinguished Research Professor of Jewish Bioethics\, Professor of Medicine\, Pediatrics\, Psychiatry\, and Sociology\, and the Director of the Center for Ethics at Emory University.
