The Ethics of the Cognitive Sciences: privacy and respect for persons

Forum for European Philosophy Consilience panel discussion


The continuing development of brain imaging technologies is now bringing into reach the correlation of brain activity with psychological states and traits, such as personality traits, mental health vulnerabilities, (unconscious) preferences and desires, or truthfulness. At the same time, different groups, such as employers, advertisers, health insurers and the government, all have strong interests in the knowledge offered by the neurosciences. How concerned should we be about these developments, and how can we ensure the protection of our privacy and dignity?

Roger Brownsword is professor of law at King’s College London.
