The International Neuroethics Society (INS) is a professional organisation that studies the social, legal, ethical and policy implications of advances in neuroscience.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ethicscenter.net/Neurogaming-November2013 )〕 The society aims to promote the development and responsible action of neuroscience through better understanding of its capabilities and consequences. == History == The INS was formed as the Neuroethics Society in May 2006 in Asilomar, California by a multidisciplinary group of 13 members, including neuroscientists, psychologists, philosophers, bioethicists and lawyers. This group formed the INS following the first meeting solely devoted to neuroethics held in San Francisco in 2002, entitled 'Neuroethics: Mapping the Field'. This meeting was co-hosted by Stanford University and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and sponsored by the Dana Foundation. This event prompted the attending and future founders of the INS to meet again and discuss the creation of a society devoted to neuroethics. The formation of the Society was formally announced in July 2006. The founding President of the INS was Professor Steven Hyman, who served as President from 2006 to 2014.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.broadinstitute.org/history-leadership/leadership/scientific-leadership/core-members/steven-hyman )〕 Hyman stated that the role of the Society was to study the issues related to the nervous system that are not neatly contained within traditional bioethics, as well as to bridge the gap between advances in neuroscience and the world of policy and ethics. The Neuroethics Society was renamed the INS in 2011, prior to the Society's 2011 Annual Meeting, to reflect its international membership and mission. In February 2014, Professor Barbara Sahakian became the second President of INS, serving a two year term. Sahakian is one of the founding members of the INS.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.practicalethics.ox.ac.uk/staff/staff/distinguished_research_fellows/barbara_sahakian )〕 In 2015, the INS Governing Board announced Professor Judy Illes had been voted President-Elect to succeed Sahakian as the next President of INS. Illes will take office in February 2016 and serve a two year term.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.neuroethicssociety.org/announcements#illes )〕 The official journal of the INS is the American Journal of Bioethics-Neuroscience (AJOB-Neuroscience), which has Professor Paul Root Wolpe as its Editor-in-Chief. AJOB-Neuroscience launched in 2007 as a section of the American Journal of Bioethics and became an independent journal in 2010, publishing four issues a year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Neuroethics Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
