As an advanced grad student and then a
postdoc in Cohen's pioneering
Neuroscience of
Cognitive Control Laboratory, Greene first began using fMRI to scan volunteers as they considered trolley scenarios and other tough philosophical problems.
My fellow participants on the panel included James Giordano, a neuroscientist, neuroethicist, and Director of the Center for Neurotechnology Studies at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies
in Arlington, VA; Monica Lopez - Gonzalez,
postdoc fellow, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and adjunct faculty, Visual
Cognitive Neuroscience, Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, MD; and Jonathan Peck, futurist and Director of the Institute for Alternative Futures, Alexandria, VA..
