Papers presented at the Mind and Brain conference will be eligible for inclusion in a proceedings issue of the Journal of Cognition and Neuroethics (JCN). The Journal of Cognition and Neuroethics is a peer-reviewed, open access journal published online, aimed at the cross-fertilization of research in neuro-, bio- and medical science and related fields as well as scholarship in normative disciplines that focus on legal, social and ethical and policy issues. JCN is committed to presenting wide ranging discussions. We are looking to publish works that explore ideas, concepts, theories and their implications across multiple disciplines and professions.
