Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics

The Past, Present, and Future of Neurolaw

For over a century brain science has fascinated the law. This talk will explore the past, present, and future intersections of neuroscience and law. Will advances in neuroscience enable the legal system to achieve greater safety and justice, or will these technologies lead to greater inequity and intrusion? In this talk, Dr. Shen will provide cautionary tales, but also provide a vision for ethical and effective adoption of neurotechnology. He will consider the legal and ethical implications of moving too fast – and also moving too slow – to adopt these new technologies.

A pizza lunch will be served.

This seminar will also stream via Zoom. For the link, please email: pennmindcore@sas.upenn.edu
