Neuroethics and the 21st Century Brain

The 21st century has been coined the Century of the Brain. But as the exciting tools of neuroscience probe deeper compelling ethical and philosophical questions over the privacy of our thoughts, identity and selfhood are coming to the fore. What if a brain scan revealed more about you than you really want to know? How might neuroscience be used in the courts? What can we confidently read from the bright lights of a brain image? How should this information be used beyond the research lab? Two of the world's leading thinkers in the emerging field of 'neuroethics' explore these and other timely questions.
