National Neuroscience: Ethics, Legal and Social Issues Conference (3rd) (NELSI-3) Held in Fairfax, Virginia on February 25, 2011. Ethical Issues in the Use of Neuroscience and Neurotechnology in National Defense

Abstract

In light of ongoing progress in both neuroscience and neurotechnology, it is critical to address, explicate and examine the ethical, legal and social issues that arise in, and from such research and applications if we are to assert and maintain 1) ongoing moral integrity both domestically and on the global stage, and 2) advance these fields in national security, defense and intelligence so as to ensure against their corruption and frank misuse - both domestically and by other nations and/or groups. Toward these ends, the proposed conference (NELSI-3) will conjoin a group or recognized scholars to engage a discursive and dialectical approach to these issues as particularly suited to an invited audience of concerned and influential representatives from the governmental, S/T, research, development, testing and evaluation (RDTE), public and media communities.
