The Ethics of Neuromodulation-Induced Behavior Changes

More about the book

The intricate relationship between the brain and moral behavior is explored, highlighting the challenges in linking brain function to moral agency. The study emphasizes that therapeutic interventions often yield unintended effects on moral or social behavior rather than directly targeting them. It raises ethical concerns regarding neuromodulation in clinical settings, advocating for a comprehensive evaluation that considers the social implications of moral behavior, rather than an individualistic perspective, as moral behavior inherently involves social dynamics.
