A Decade of the Mind and Neuroethics: Initiatives in Alignment

Abstract
As we seek a better understanding of the workings of the human mind, we are continually confronted by fresh ethical, legal and social questions. Now, researchers are increasingly emphasizing the role of a new discipline, neuroethics, to guide the search for answers to those questions.This will become even more important as we embark upon an envisioned “Decade of the Mind” in 2010, a multidisciplinary effort dedicated to understanding the phenomenon of mind within the context of neuroscience
