Neuroethics

Neuroethics is the study of ethical issues that may come up when using our brains, which is what neuroscientists study. For example, neuroethics looks at how people should use technology to influence brain activity, like using brain scans to understand how people think and make decisions. Neuroethics also looks at how brain research can be used to help people with mental health problems, like depression and anxiety. It also looks at how scientists and doctors should use genetic information to treat illnesses that affect the brain and how we can protect people from unfair bias when using brain scans to evaluate them. Lastly, neuroethics looks at the moral implications of advances in brain science that may give people enhanced abilities or changes in behavior, such as soldiers taking drugs to make them more focused or people using drugs to enhance their memory or intelligence.
