<h3 align="center">"Brave Neuro World? Reality and Hype in Neuroethics"</h3><br><p align="center">Advances in neuroscience have increased our
ability to understand, predict and influence human behavior. In
principle such advances can be applied to any field of endeavor that
depends on human behavior, for example economics, education, law and
warfare. In this talk I will raise, and attempt to answer, the following
questions: How are these advances being used in practice? Which ethical
problems have so far occupied the field of neuroethics, and which are
relevant to current and plausible near-term uses of neuroscience? Does
contemporary neuroscience raise any new ethical issues, not already
familiar to scholars of bioethics or STS?</p><br><br><p align="center"><b>ARTHUR MILLER</b> (B.S., '34; Ph.D., '38)</p><p align="center">The Arthur Miller Lecture in Science and Ethics, held
annually at MIT, honors the memory of Arthur Miller, an MIT alumnus
(S.B. 1945) noted for his work in electronic measurement and
instrumentation. During World War II, he worked at the Radiation Lab,
for several years. His medical contributions included methods to reduce
shock hazards in hospital monitoring systems and designing the first
commercial cardiographs that featured adequate patient circuit isolation
from line and ground. </p></body></html>
