The Center for Cognition and Neuroethics (CCN) is a joint affiliation between the Department of Philosophy at the University of Michigan-Flint and the Insight Institute of Neurosurgery and Neuroscience (IINN). The Center was formed with the goal of fostering genuinely interdisciplinary research with the belief that the skills and knowledge that each side of the partnership brings to the collaboration can enrich and inform the other. Just as Neuroscience can benefit from close analysis of its fundamental ethical and conceptual assumptions, so Philosophy is greatly enriched by being exposed to the complexity of the world that Neuroscience is exploring. It is our hope that the creation of the Center for Cognition and Neuroethics will initiate unparalleled multidisciplinary opportunities. CCN supports a variety of scholarly relationships and activities, including student support, community outreach and scholarly research projects.
