The past two decades have seen unparalleled developments in our knowledge of the        brain and mind. However, these advances have forced us to confront head-on some        significant ethical issues regarding our application of this information in the real        world- whether using brain images to establish guilt within a court of law, or        developing drugs to enhance cognition.Historically, any consideration of the        ethical, legal, and social implications of emerging technologies in science and        medicine has lagged behind the discovery of the technology itself. These delays have        caused problems in the acceptability and potential applications of biomedical        advances and posed significant problems for the scientific community and the public        alike - for example in the case of genetic screening and human cloning. The field of        Neuroethics aims to proactively anticipateethical, legal and social issues at the        intersection of neuroscience and ethics, raising questions about what the brain        tells us about ourselves, whether the information is what people want or ought to        know, and how best to communicate it.A landmark in the academic literature, the        Oxford Handbook of Neuroethics presents a pioneering review of a topic central to        the sciences and humanities. It presents a range of chapters considering key issues,        discussion, and debate at the intersection of brain and ethics. The handbook        contains more than 50 chapters by leaders from around the world and a broad range of        sectors of academia and clinical practice spanning the neurosciences, medical        sciences and humanities and law. The book focuseson and provides a platform for        dialogue of what neuroscience can do, what we might expect neuroscience will do, and        what neuroscience ought to do. The major themes include: consciousness and        intention; responsibility and determinism; mind and body; neurotechnology; ageing        and dementia; law andpublic policy; and science, society and international        perspectives.Tackling some of the most significant ethical issues that face us now        and will continue to do so over the coming decades, The Oxford Handbook of        Neuroethics will be an essential resource for the field of neuroethics for graduate        students and postdoctoral fellows, basic scientists in the neurosciences and        psychology, scholars in humanities and law, as well as physicians practising in the        areas of primary care in neurological medicine.
