Interests and Publications

Bryan Benham’s research interests focus on questions at the intersection of science and human values. He has particular interests in neuro-cognitive and genetic explanations of human behavior that have direct implications on notions of moral agency and concepts of self. In addition, he publishes on topics in research ethics, most recently on the ethics of deceptive methods in social-behavioral research (Bioethics). A book of case studies on research ethics is also forthcoming (Rowman & Littlefield).esearch Keywords, Regions of Interest and Languages:
