Neuroethics has always been an interdisciplinary field and we are willing to strengthen links among scholars of different research areas and from different countries.

The Conference will feature a session on the new frontiers of the concept of brain death and on the new technological possibilities currently available.

We also invite contributions on the following sections:

1. Moral cognition.
2. Neurolaw.
3. Neuroeconomy, neuropolitics, and neuromarketing.
4. Free will and consciousness.
5. Issues arising from clinical applications of technological innovations.
6. Philosophy of cognitive science.
7. Neuroenhancement.
8. Genetics and the brain.

 

Contributions can be experimental, theoretical, analytical, or critical works.
