Hello everyone! My name is Abel Wajnerman Paz, and I’ll be this week's guest curator for the International Neuroethics Society! I'll be tweeting and discussing with you interesting issues about neuroethics and neurorights in South America ✨🇦🇷🇨🇱...

A begin with something about me: I am from Argentina and have been working as a postdoc on different issues within the Philosophy of Neuroscience at the University of Buenos Aires (with this great group: gificc.wordpress.com)

Later, I've had the pleasure of learning from and working with @arleensalles on many neuroethical issues, and joining her amazing group at @NeuroeticaCIF, where I've been trying to figure out how Philosophy of Neuroscience and Neuroethics could support each other

A few years ago I moved to Chile (love at first sight) and I am currently an assistant professor of the Deparment of Philosophy at Alberto Hurtado University, where I lead a recently formed Neuroethics group.

Here I had the unique opportunity of witnessing the creation of a pioneering lesgislation on neurotechnology, which articulates the so called 'neurorights', and have been working since then on main philosophical and ethical issues underlying this framework.

Over the course of the week I hope to discuss with you about these topics, namely, how to expand Neuroethics through its relationship with other philosophical disciplines, and how NeuroRights are (or should be) developed in South America and around the world

Please, feel free to message or ask questions. You can also Tweet directly to @AbelWajnerman. Thank you very much to @RolandNadler for the invitation, and very much looking forward to hearing from all of you!
