Abstract

Advances in neuroscience are increasingly intersecting with issues of ethical, legal, and social interest. This study is an analysis of press coverage of an advanced technology for brain imaging, functional magnetic resonance imaging, that has gained significant public visibility over the past ten years. Discussion of issues of scientific validity and interpretation dominated over ethical content in both the popular and specialized press. Coverage of research on higher order cognitive phenomena specifically attributed broad personal and societal meaning to neuroimages. The authors conclude that neuroscience provides an ideal model for exploring science communication and ethics in a multicultural context.

脑成像:印刷媒体报道的十年。

神经科学的进步越来越多地与伦理、法律和社会利益问题交织在一起。这项研究是对一种先进的大脑成像技术——功能性磁共振成像——的新闻报道的分析，该技术在过去十年中获得了显著的公众知名度。大众媒体和专业媒体对科学有效性和解释问题的讨论都超过了伦理内容。对高阶认知现象的研究报道特别将广泛的个人和社会意义归因于神经图像。作者得出结论，神经科学为在多元文化背景下探索科学交流和伦理提供了一个理想的模式。
