Prof. James Giordano, PhD, is the Director of the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies' Center for Neurotechnology Studies.  Prof. Giordano's work focuses heavily on the area of neuroethics, which includes research into the biological and cultural foundations of ethical decision-making and what is considered moral behavior.  This is a rapidly-evolving area of research; in a recent New York Times article, a Yale researcher reported on findings that suggest even infants may have some innate sense of right and wrong.  Prof. Giordano comments on those findings and on the next challenge they pose for neuroethicists: whether such data can be used to create more "ethical" citizens and societies, and if so, who decides which moral standards should apply. Click below to watch, then click here for more information about Prof. Giordano's work.
