Ethical Principles in Brain Research

[leona0123]

I am just finishing up my notes for Chapter Four and I am not sure how much/what to include for Ethical Principles in Brain Research and what I am specifically required to know except for ethical principles in general. I don't know how to write about them in relation to brain research without just repeating the general information about them.  The study design says "research methods and ethical principles associated with the study of the brain and states of consciousness, as outlined in the introduction to the unit". Does that mean that I only have to know about them in general, and have the ability to apply them to brain research? Or are there more specific things I should include in my notes?
I hope this all makes sense!

Generally what VCAA like to do is to set up a scenario, and to get you to identify which ethical principle was breached/upheld in the experiment.

Relating to your question, how they supposedly 'test' the ethical principles in brain research is simply to make the scenario based on a brain research experiment, as opposed to a normal experiment, and that would be considered to be testing ethical principles in relation to brain research, so pretty much its just the scenario that changes, not anything to do with the principles.

so you don't really need to do anything out of the ordinary except to know the general information about it, make sure you know how to explain each one, and when you do get questions on it, make sure you relate it to the scenario given.
