Neuroethics Week - October 1 - 6, 2007

A series of three annual neuroethics weeks will establish a high-visibility forum linking the public with top thinkers in neuroscience. The focus of this first year will be on new and proposed technologies that may allow others to "read" our thought processes or "predict" our behavior. This project is presented by the Ethics Center in collaboration with the University of California San Diego, University of San Diego, San Diego State University, California Western School of Law, San Diego Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, the Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind, and The Neurosciences Institute. *
