The CCN’s conference included six panels and 16\u00a0speakers from around the world.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In late March, academics from around the world gathered at the Insight Institute of Neurosurgery and Neuroscience in Flint, Michigan, for a conference on “The\u00a0Work of Cognition and Neuroethics in Science Fiction.” The event, from inception to production, was the work of UM-Flint\u00a0College of Arts & Sciences (CAS)\u00a0alumnus Zea Miller; it was\u00a0supported by the UM-Flint Department of Philosophy<\/a> and hosted by the Center for Cognition and Neuroethics<\/a> (CCN).<\/p>\n

Now a doctoral student of\u00a0Theory and Cultural Studies in the English Department at Purdue University, Miller can boast a long connection with UM-Flint, including a 2006\u00a0BA in French and International Studies, a 2011 MA in English Language and Literature, his staff and committee positions within CAS, and his current work\u00a0as a project manager for CCN\u00a0where he handles administrative and technical affairs, including journal production and website design.<\/p>\n

When asked about the idea behind his conference, which explored the topics in ways that are new to the fields of philosophy and science fiction, Miller said, “Given the box-office popularity of science fiction narratives last year, we thought that a conversation on how identity, language, and cognition interplay with neuro-substance (ab)use, neuro-enhancement and perfection, and neuro-invasive treatments and manipulation would be timely. To that end, since CCN is committed to sponsoring interdisciplinary collaborations, and since my research interests include theory and science fiction, I wanted to foster a space where scholars could explore the work of cognition and neuroethics in science fiction, and thereby begin a new critical conversation.”<\/p>\n

Miller’s interest in the subject matter was shared by others in academia, and participants\u00a0came from as far as England for a chance to share their thoughts among peers. Following are the speakers and their topics:<\/p>\n

When asked about the chance to explore these unique viewpoints\u00a0in such an established genre, Miller said, “While research on the relationship between cognition, science fiction, and genre is extensive, the ways in which cognition and neuroethics are deployed in these narratives remains relatively unexamined, so much so that we have a groundbreaking opportunity.” All presenters will have the option to submit their works for publication consideration in the CCN’s\u00a0Journal of Cognition and Neuroethics<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>a peer-reviewied and open access publication that would allow the conference works, and their novel ideas, to reach a much wider audience.<\/p>\n

Miller plans to continue the conference next year and feels fortunate that his experiences at UM-Flint both prepared him for such projects and afford him the opportunity to continue working with the university faculty and facilities: “While exciting, this is only one project among many. Between faculty-student research collaborations, scholarship fundraising efforts, the capstone course, and conferences and journals through CCN, the Philosophy Department remarkably and critically engages with the community. As an alumnus, it is therefore an honor to continue working with CAS faculty. We are doing amazing work, and it is a credit to our campus that faculty, students, staff, and alumni have such opportunities.”<\/p>\n
