How to make sense of the debate on “study drugs”?
No full text“Medicalization“ as a theoretical concept has received much attention in sociology throughout decades and people’s drug use is a social phenomenon investigated from different perspectives in the social and life sciences. Research on “study drugs” is an area where many of these perspectives converge – not only because it prompts us to reconsider the treatment/enhancement distinction. In this article, Stephan Schleim describes how the topic of (allegedly) performance-enhancing drugs has fascinated him since high school. When scholars started discussing this as “neuroenhancement”, several things went wrong, he argues. Read on to find out whether students really use “study drugs” as much as is often reported and whether there might be an alternative way to make sense of people’s substance use
Vom Hirnstimulator zur Gedankenkontrolle:Entwicklungen in den Neurowissenschaften
No full textNeuro-Technologien werden eine ganze Reihe von schon heute oder in Kürze verfügbaren Möglichkeiten zugesprochen. Insbesondere die Massenmedien transportierten die Idee, man könne dem Gehirn dank neuer Visualisierungsmöglichkeiten nun ‚beim Denken zuschauen‘ (zur Neuro-Kommunikation siehe Racine et al. 2005; Racine et al. 2010; Schleim 2013). Daneben versprach vor allem das ‚Gehirn- oder gar ‚Gedanken-Lesen‘ einen wesentlichen Durchbruch – bis auf die Ebene einzelner Bewusstseinsinhalte sollten die neuen Verfahren vordringen können (Haynes und Rees 2006; Schleim 2008). Der tatsächliche methodische Fortschritt bestand dabei vor allem darin, Daten der funktionellen Magnetresonanztomographie (fMRT) mit Verhaltens-, Perzeptions- oder berichteten Bewusstseinszuständen in Zusammenhang bringen zu können

Norms and the Brain – an Investigation Into the Neuroscience of Ethical Decisions and the Ethics of Neuroscience
Full text linkThis cumulative dissertation consists of investigations the brain processes related to legal and moral decision-making as well as a philosophical reflection. The behavioral main finding is that lawyers perceive themselves to be less emotionally involved during legal and moral decision-making than other academics. Regarding brain processes, the major finding is that legal decisions are correlated with stronger activation in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, suggesting a stronger engagement of rule application. The philosophical part reflects the normative implications of these investigations and comprises a wider discussion of neuroimaging in the context of clinical research
