Arlington, Va

I co-founded and coordinated the Capital Consortium for Neuroscience: Ethical, Legal and Social Issues (www.ccnelsi.com), together with Dr. James Giordano. In this forum, we presented monthly lectures on neurophilosophy, bioethics, neuroethics and legal issues as they relate to neuroscientific research.
