Brain Matters 3: 

Values at the Crossroads of Neurology,
Psychiatry and Psychology 

October 24th-25th, 2012

This conference provides a venue for collaboration and learning in the area of neuroethics. The plenary speakers of this conference will address ethical challenges in the treatment and research for conditions with neurological symptomatology but that are without identifiable biological correlates/causes. The complexities of suffering and disability experienced by individuals with these conditions are significant, including exposure to dangerous and futile treatments.

Parallel sessions will include accepted abstracts from a broad range of neuroethics interests.  At this conference, presentations will be given by patients, physicians, neuroscientists, and ethicists and is intended to appeal to a broad audience.  Please see the call for abstracts and conference information at http://www.clevelandclinic.org/BrainMatters3.

The submission form is directly available at: http://my.clevelandclinic.org/Documents/Bioethics/abstract-submission-form.pdf
