Purpose: Why Neuroethics Matters

Understanding the brain changes how we understand ourselves. As neuroscience increasingly shape medicine, law, and everyday life, the questions they raise are not just technical, but deeply human. The Neuroethics Society at UNC-Chapel Hill exists to examine how advances in brain science affect identity, responsibility, justice, and human dignity.

Value: What We Do

Where science meets ethics, and ideas meet real-world impact. We bring together students across neuroscience, philosophy, medicine, law, and the social sciences to explore ethical questions surrounding brain science. Through research, discussion, speaker events, and collaborative projects, we create space for critical thinking about how scientific innovation should be developed, applied, and governed.

Belonging: Who This Is For

The Neuroethics Society at UNC-Chapel Hill is a home for those who care not only about how the brain works, but about what that knowledge means for people and society. If you are driven by curiosity, responsibility, and a commitment to using knowledge wisely to make a difference, this community is for you.
