Recently in San Diego, the founding president of the International Neuroethics Society and Harvard professor Steven Hyman, led an extraordinary discussion on rapid advances in brain research and the social implications of merging neuroscience and video game development. In Neurogaming: What’s Neuroscience and Ethics Got To Do With It?, the question of “are video games good for you?” is analyzed by Hyman and fellow researchers. C. Shawn Green of the University of Wisconsin-Madison discusses the scientific basis of neurogaming; Adam Gazzaley of University of California, San Francisco, focuses on the application of neurogames, and Jonathon Blow, an independent game developer with notable credits, covers the multitude of ethical issues within neurogames.
