| Summary: | Advances in new neuroscientific research tools and technologies have not only led to new insight into the processes of the human brain, they have also refined and provided genuinely new ways of modifying and manipulating the human brain. The aspiration of such interventions is to affect conative, cognitive, and affective brain processes associated with emotional regulation, empathy, and moral judgment.

In 'Neurointerventions, Crime, and Punishment, ' Jesper Ryberg considers various ethical challenges surrounding this question.-- |
