http://www.nitrc.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=4036 <p>The Winter School is organized by the Berlin School of Mind and Brain and the Bernstein Center Berlin and is tailored to MSc and PhD students, but also covers a range of topics of potential interest to other brain researchers, reflecting on the ethical and societal consequences of modern neuroscience. Topics include theoretical foundations (applied ethics and its philosophical and neuroscientific foundations), practical aspects (good scientific practice, ethics committees) and ethical aspects of specific research fields (animal research, clinical practice, deep brain stimulation, neuroenhancement, brain reading). Each topic is introduced in a lecture complemented by recommended scientific literature, while group work and final presentations allow the participants to put the learned contents into practice. The aim of this winter school is to enable the students to integrate the ethical aspects into their own ongoing and future research.</p> <p><b>Keynote</b> on "Brain death" by Prof. Ralf Stoecker (Bielefeld University)</p> <p><b>Topics</b><br />Philosophical Ethics<br />Brain Reading<br />The Neurobiology of Values - Scientific Paradigms<br />Good Scientific Practice <br />Deep Brain Stimulation and Ethics<br />Ethical Issues of Animal Experiments<br />Neuroenhancement<br />Neuroimaging and Neurolaw: A neurophilosophical perspective on pedophilia<br />Legal Aspects of Neuroimaging<br />Patient Data Security<br />Ethics Committees</p> <p><b>Confirmed lecturers</b><br />R.
