A new series of open access articles and opinion pieces from The Hastings Center addresses the ethical, legal, and societal issues presented by emerging neuroscience. In its first edition, writers focus on what is owed to people who volunteer in clinical trials to develop implantable brain devices, such as deep-brain stimulators and brain-computer interfaces. Funded through our Dana NextGen program, this series aims to foster dynamic, sustained conversation among neuroscience researchers, legal and ethics scholars, policymakers, and wider publics. #neuroethics #neurosociety #neuroscience #neurolaw #brainresearch #healthcare

Gregory E. Kaebnick, editor of The Hastings Center Report, explores the role of scholarly writing in larger questions about society, deliberative public engagement, and science governance. This is the third article of the Neuroscience and Society Essay Series. #neuroethics #neurosociety #publicengagement

Tenacity is an important aspects of resilience. Did you know that there are scientists studying what happens in our brains when we give up? Our brains are designed to seek rewards. This allows us to stay motivated even when things get tough. However, researchers found that "frustration" neurons become more active when getting a reward becomes increasingly difficult, eventually resulting in us giving up. #neuroscience #neuroleadership #perseverance #resilience #wellbeing #tenacity #PersonalResilienceIndicator #Mindmatters

Knowing Neurons is pleased to announce the upcoming NeuroPolicy Paper Competition, generously sponsored by a STEM Action Grant from Society for Science! Early-career neuroscientists are invited to submit short-form policy papers that advocate for specific, actionable policies related to neuroscience. Submissions that meet Knowing Neurons editorial standards will proceed through the editorial process before being evaluated by a panel of judges and published on the official website. Each submission will be judged according to the following career stage categories: 1) undergraduate students 2) graduate students 3) recent graduates/professionals. A cash prize will be awarded in each category! Submissions close on January 20th, 2025 at 11:59 Pacific Time! https://lnkd.in/g7V3uRwv #neuroscience #knowingneurons #neuropolicy #sciencepolicy #neuro #Competition #papercompetition #academia #research #earlycareerprofessionals #undergraduates #graduates #cfbr

Artificial intelligence is able to determine with an accuracy of 90% if the brain image it is looking at is from a male or a female. Stanford University. "The model’s success suggests that detectable sex differences do exist in the brain but just haven’t been picked up reliably before. The fact that it worked so well in different datasets, including brain scans from multiple sites in the U.S. and Europe, make the findings especially convincing as it controls for many confounds that can plague studies of this kind." #neurodiversity #neuroscience #brainmapping #artificialintelligence https://lnkd.in/eZUYawgh.
