Todd Sacktor and others at SUNY Downstate Medical Center have organized a December 9 symposium entitled "Neuroethics of Memory". The midtown-Manhattan event is free but you must pre-register (see Download Neuroethics of Memory Symposium). I'm told that topics of discussion will include: "memory erasure and enhancement, reconsolidation, 'rebooting the brain,' clinical implications of PTSD, addiction, and 'slippery slopes'."
Here is the line-up:
