"Cross-Cultural Neuroethics: Look Both Ways"

Moheb Costandi has written, "Cross-Cultural Neuroethics: Look Both Ways," at the Dana Foundation's website.  Here's a snippet from the beginning:

In the Western World, we may take it for granted that our scientific values and ethical concepts are universal, but this is not the case. Although international codes of conduct have been developed to ensure all scientists adhere to ethical practices, they are not always relevant, because not everyone shares the same worldview. Indigenous peoples, for example, have fundamentally different worldviews and philosophies, and do not subscribe to our scientific values.

Cross-cultural neuroethics aims to overcome potential misunderstandings that might arise when the worldview of researchers differs from that of the community they are investigating.
