Abstract
This book is a journalist's report (a good one in my opinion) on a conference held in May 2005 at the Library of Congress on "neuroethics," a term coined at a seminal conference three years earlier in San Francisco with the support of universities and the Dana Foundation (now chaired by William Safire). Organizers of the 2005 conference, Ruth and Gerald Fishbach, both from the faculty at Columbia University, named the conference per the title of this book with the subtitle: "Facts, Ethics and Policies Guiding Brain Science Today."
