Ethical Issues in Neuroimaging
We will meet Tuesdays at 2 pm in 58-261A of the NPI
Students are expected to come to class prepared to present and discuss the contents of the articles.
Here are some readings as they pile up:
- A wonderful article on the compelling power of neuroimages CAVEAT_LECTOR.pdf
- The instructor's early warning. JMRI 6, 273-274, 1996
- Neuroimaging: Separating the Promise from the Pipe Dreams
- What we can do and what we cannot do with fMRI
A few topic ideas
- The brain of a criminal
- Making the big bucks (see http://www.neurofocus.com/)
- The criminal brain
- Boundaries of safety
- Physiology of ethics and morality "the ethical brain"
- Medical privacy in neuroimaging research - what should you know about your subject's health?
- Neuroeconomics: Can we really do this?

Week 2
4/6 Led by Elizabeth Sowell

Week 3 - No Meeting
4/13
There will be no meeting this week. We will continue on 4/20.
Week 4
4/20 No Lie MRI (this may take more than one session)
A number of groups have reported reliable detection of true and false using fMRI, usually with the aid of machine learning/pattern analysis schemes.
We will discuss a variety of issues here
- Does this actually work?
- Does a Polygraph work?
- Who should profit?
- What does this do to our rights to privacy?
Readings:
- How to beat an fMRI lie detector
- Don't Even Think About Lying
- Detection of Deception with fMRI: Are we there yet?
- Functional Neuroimaging of Belief, Disbelief, and Uncertainty
- Classifying spatial patterns of brain activity with machine learning methods: application to lie detection
Week 5
5/4 Neuropolitics (a little late...)
Dr. Iacoboni has agreed to come to talk with us about these materials at a later date, as well.
Some Readings
- This Is Your Brain on Politics
- This is Your Brain on Politics? Martha Farah comments
- Iacoboni Responds to Neuropolitics Criticism
- Us versus them: Political attitudes and party affiliation influence neural response to faces of presidential candidates
- The Emband 24 and the Hitachi Brain Analyzer
- Mind games: How not to mix politics and science
- FKF Applied Research
Week 6
5/11 Presented by Sarah Madsen
We will discuss ethical issues relating to the use of non-clinical fMRI in children, especially focusing on applications in the classroom and in the courtroom.
