ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses neuroscientists use positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and single photo emission computerd tomograohy (SPECT) technology to get a picture of the brain while it is performing some mental task. The ultimate post human vision of humanity's future portrayed by transhumanism may or may not be feasible. The term neuroethics was coined by William Safire, former columnist for the New York Times and currently chairman of the Dana Foundation, a private philanthropic institute interested in brain science and in disseminating information about the personal and public benefits of brain research. The discussion of neuroethics is in its infancy; however, many of the concerns over future technology coming from research in neuroscience and psychology already been raised in the popular media.
