Neuroethics and Deep Brain Stimulation




Dana Radio Series - Gray Matters show

Summary: While Research in brain science holds exciting prospects for the treatment of disease, our increasing ability to manipulate the brain poses grave questions both for scientists and for society at large. An emerging field called Neuroethics is connected with a broad array of issues that ask where do we draw the line on manipulating brain function? In this podcast, Dr. Judy Illes, Canada Research Chair in Neuroethics and Professor of Neurology at the University of British Columbia, offers some background on the neural maze of science and ethics.
