PSYC-29914 Neuroscience in Society Our understanding of the human brain has increased rapidly. However, this advancement creates the potential for ethical conflicts. This course will introduce students to issues in Neuroethics, an emerging field that explores the implications of neuroscience technology in society. For example, should neuroimaging data be used in the legal system to assess a persons memory or their potential for committing future crimes? Should people be able to enhance their cognitive ability through neuroscience technology? And, what role should neuromarketing play in advertising to consumers? This course will critically evaluate these ethical dilemmas and more to explore the increasing impact of neuroscience in society.
