The Program in Ethics and Brain Sciences (PEBS) is a collaborative effort of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics and the Johns Hopkins Brain Sciences Institute . The goal of PEBS is to ensure that research in brain science proceeds with an informed understanding of ethical issues, and that philosophical and empirical analyses of the advances in brain research proceed with an informed understanding of the science. With the PEBS Neuroethics News Roundup, we will present a weekly survey of the most pertinent and thought-provoking new articles from both peer-reviewed academic journals and the popular press.
