Dear all,
list members can be interested in this event about neuroscience and
society organized by the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Sissa
(International School for Advanced Studies), Trieste, Italy
----------------------
The /bid-brains in dialogue/ team is pleased to announce the third
/bid/-workshop* /brains in dialogue on deep brain stimulation / *which
will take place on *20-21 September 2010 *in Warsaw, Poland.
To date tens of thousands of people worldwide have received deep brain
stimulation to alleviate symptoms of several treatment-resistant
disorders: from Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor to chronic
pain, epilepsy and psychiatric conditions, such as obsessive compulsive
disorder, major depression and Tourette syndrome. But what are the
potentials and limitations of this technology? And what is the real
impact on patient’s life? Is there a risk for personality alterations?
Scientists, clinicians, patients, philosophers, sociologists,
journalists and other stakeholders will gather to discuss the state of
the art of deep brain stimulation in neurological and psychiatric
disorders and the ethical and social implications.
