Neuroethics Pioneer Steven E. Hyman

from Communicating Brain Science

One of the leaders in the effort to organize the first neuroethics conference was Steven E. Hyman, M.D., director of the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University and the founding president of the International Neuroethics Society. On the 15th anniversary of the conference, "Neuroethics: Mapping the Field," which took place over two days in May in San Francisco in 2002, we asked Hyman to reflect on how far the field has come in 15 years and where it may be going in the next 15. Hyman, who has also served as director of the National Institute of Mental Health and as president of the Society for Neuroscience, talked to us following the Neuroethics Society annual meeting in Washington, D.C. Cerebrum recently published three essays by three of the original attendees: Jonathan Moreno, Patricia Churchland, and Kenneth Schaffner.
