Eric Racine, Ph.D. is a bioethicist and postdoctoral fellow with
the Neuroethics Imaging Group at the Stanford Center for Biomedical
Ethics, one of the first research teams dedicated to the exploration of
ethical issues
in neuroscience. Dr. Racine has published papers on the issue of
public
involvement in population genomics, and on moral reasoning in
healthcare ethics committees. His work now focuses on ethical
issues raised by
frontier neurotechnologies such as neuroimaging and
brain-machine
interfaces and on ways neuroscience could inform our conception of
ethics and moral decision-making. He has served on Quebec's Science and
Technology Ethics Committee and is involved in initiatives fostering
public dialogue on science. Dr. Racine has completed clinical ethics
internships in Geneva and Montreal, served on clinical and research
ethics committees, and has participated in the organization of
numerous events in the field of bioethics.
