Cosmopolitan Neuroethics: What it is and why we need it
17 July 2018, by Dr. James Giordano and Dr. John Shook
In this interview, James Giordano and John Shook discuss and explain the concept of cosmopolitan neuroethics: what it is, how we can apply it, and why it’s becoming increasingly important in our globalized world.
Jolt the Brain, Then Listen Closely

If an electric current passes through the brain, does anyone hear it?
Earlier this year, researchers in the United Kingdom showed that stimulating the brain with mild direct currents helped people stop stuttering. Neurostimulation has also shown promise for treating conditions such as migraines, depression, and the physical effects of stroke.
