Neuroethics
Neuroethics n. The moral principles and standards governing the scanning, treatment, and enhancement of the brain
... Even in their current state, brain scans may be able to reveal, without our consent, hidden things about who we are and what we think and feel. ... Before such scans are used, neuroethicists warn, we must understand what they can and cannot do.
