Since 1973, neuroethics has continuously developed as a systematic reflection, study and interpretation of neuroscience, and related sciences of the mind, in order to understand its implications for human self-understanding and both the perils and prospects of its applications. The Research Group in Neurobioethics at Regina Apostolorum is committed to providing a comprehensive overview of the international neuroethical debate, offering unprecedent insights into the impact of neuroscientific research, diagnosis, therapy, and enhancement. The Research Group organizes at our Athenaeum the Brain Week, as one of the most groundbreaking activities.
This exciting time of scientific and technological progress makes it ever more pressing that we fund research encouraging academic investigation of the necessary ethical, social and political questions that arise with continuous advancements and therapies in the field of neuroscience. For this reason, we want to enhance our scientific research on topics like neurosurgery, implants, robotics, artificial intelligence, and treatment.
At such a critical precipice for our society, it is imperative that we promote ethically sound research to thoroughly understand the ethical implications of our neuroscientific advancements to better orient our society towards the changing future. For supporting and increasing the scientific consistency of our research, benefactors can contribute establishing a PhD scholarship for a talented researcher who will he hosted by our School of Bioethics, contributing to the organization of an international conference, and funding the enhancement of Neurobioethics sector within our library.
