From Covert Consciousness to Human Rights: Neuroethics and the Neuroscience of Disorders of Consciousness
Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium 160 5th Avenue, New York, NY, United StatesDr. Joseph J. Fins will address how our evolving knowledge of disorders of consciousness has created an ethical imperative for a population often misdiagnosed, neglected and segregated from society. Meeting the needs of conscious individuals often mistakenly diagnosed as permanently unconscious is an emerging civil rights issue and challenge for basic and clinical neuroscience.
