What is neuroethics?
Neuroethics is a new field concerned with the benefits and dangers of modern research on the brain, and by extension, with the social, legal and ethical implications of treating or manipulating the mind. Neuroethics critically examines the rapidly expanding fields of neuroscience. The CCLE’s unique principles acknowledging the primacy of mental privacy, autonomy and choice, i.e. cognitive liberty, place us at the forefront of discussions concerning this developing discipline.
