    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience and Philosophy
    • Cognitive Science
    • Ethics

    Background:

    • Neuroethics is an emerging field addressing the implications of neuroscience.
    • Numerous practical and unique questions arise from brain science.
    • Existing frameworks may be insufficient for future neuroscientific advancements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To categorize the diverse issues within neuroethics.
    • To anticipate future challenges posed by neuroscience.
    • To explore the metaphysical implications of understanding cognition and emotion through neural processes.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of neuroethics.
    • Categorization of neuroethical issues.
    • Philosophical inquiry into the mind-body problem.

    Main Results:

    • Neuroethical issues can be broadly classified into three main categories.
    • Practical neuroethical questions are being actively addressed.
    • Metaphysical challenges are anticipated as neuroscience advances.

    Conclusions:

    • Neuroethics must prepare for profound metaphysical questions.
    • Understanding cognition and emotion via neural tissue challenges traditional dualisms.
    • Concepts like consciousness, free will, and moral responsibility may require re-evaluation.
