"6172","Neuroethical Considerations Regarding Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation","Along with advances in brain technologies comes the ability to enhance the cognitive and affective states of normal people.  In this essay, I examine a relatively young technology used in cognitive neuroscience called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).  I explain what it is, how it works and what some of its applications are.  I suggest that a potential source of reservation one might have regarding brain-altering enhancement is the threat it seemingly poses to the subjective importance of mental states. I then consider the possibility of its being used as an enhancement device and question the authenticity of abilities of individuals that are enhanced by use of TMS.   I conclude that judgments regarding the appropriateness of such neurocognitive enhancements should be considered on a case by case basis.","http://cogprints.org/6172/","Stieg, Chuck ","UNSPECIFIED","       <span class=\"person_name\">Stieg, Chuck </span>     (2008)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/6172/\"><em>Neuroethical Considerations Regarding Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.</em></a>       [Conference Poster]         (Unpublished)   ","stie0076@umn.edu","2008-06-18"
