- Abstract:
- With the rapid development of cognitive neuroscience research methods and increasingly high demands for an ethics research paradigm, a new important interdisciplinary research field named neuroethics has emerged. This new research paradigm goes beyond abstract theory of human nature and argument of enumeration. In order to acquire successful solution to different controversial ethical issues, it looks for evidence and answers via advanced neural imaging technologies of cognitive neuroscience. Many longdrawn questions have got satisfactory answers, including whether moral judgment is driven by reason or emotion and whether it is rulebased or intentionbased. In order to promote the development of neuroethics, neuroscientists and educators must work together effectively in the future, and neuroethics should actively strengthen the “scientistpractitioners” training.
