Freedom & Responsibility: The Neuroscientific Perspective

Ethics Talk welcomes Dr. Michael Sandstrom, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Central Michigan University. Dr. Sandstrom will discuss how, if at all, findings in neuroscience shed light on the debate about free will and responsibility. Dr. Sandstrom earned his doctorate in Neuroscience from Ohio State University in 1998. He has focused his career on understanding the mechanisms of plasticity and compensation in the brain, and how brain function modifies itself to continue to support important goals even in circumstances of disease and damage.
