Big Issues and the Brain — The Brain and Society
Neuroscience research has made great strides in our knowledge—and created many thoughtprovoking questions. Can neuroscience transform society? Is brain-enhancing technology going too far? Are you born creative, or can it be learned? Can brain imaging spot a criminal before a crime?
In classrooms, courtrooms, offices and homes around the world, neuroscience gives us powerful new tools for achieving our goals and prompting a new understanding of ourselves as social, moral and spiritual beings. World-renowned neuroscientists and researchers will share insight on issues surrounding the brain, with in-depth discussions about its impact on society.
