Prof. James Giordano, PhD, is Vice President for Academic Programs and Director of the Center for Neurotechnology Studies at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies.  On October 20, he spoke at a conference entitled “Smart” Implants: Therapeutic Solutions, Security and Human Enhancements, sponsored by ICTethics and Gleube and held at the Wellcome Collection Conference Centre in London, UK.  Prof. Giordano addressed ways in which implantable neurotechnologies "offer unique potential to affect neuro-cognitive and behavioral functions, and are therefore promising approaches in mitigating the effects of certain neurological and psychiatric disorders."  He also addressed ethical considerations that arise in connection with the use of these technologies.  Click here for more information about the conference.
