The chair of the ENSN, Nikolas Rose asked me several months ago to come and talk about the neuroeconomies aspect of the neurosociety along with Dr. Philippe Pignarre(University of Paris). The first day there will be three plenary sessions which will cover Public Health and the politics of the neurosciences with speakers Professor Kent Woods (Chief Executive Officer, UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency) and Mathilde Leonardi (Neurological Institute Carlo Besta, Italy); Sources of the neurochemical self: consciousness, personhood and difference with Alexandre Mauron (University of Geneva) and Neuroeconomies: markets, choice and distribution of neurotechnologies which Pignarre and myself will be speaking on. The second day will begin with a series of workshops on these subjects followed by a fourth Plenary session on Neuroscience and Society: Future Directions in Europe led by Steven Rose, Open University and Alain Ehrenburg. Overall, it looks to be a fantastic gathering that has been sold out for the past several weeks. Can't wait!
