The easiest definition of neuroethics is “the neuroscience of ethics, and the ethics of neuroscience.” While this is perhaps too glib, it encapsulates the dual nature of the discipline—one that allows professionals from many disciplines to fit under the “neuroethics” umbrella. Neuroethicists range in profession from lawyers to policymakers, with concentrations in neuroscience and philosophy.
