Damasio is on the A team, but is swamped for a couple of months. he is key, and i know that you know each other. two others, both in england, are tied up as well, but are going to get back to me. one, mel slater, is a computer guy, and does the VR work. the second, essi viding, does behavioral genetics, imaging, and clinical populations, aimed at identifying genetic markers that are predictive of psychopathy. second, have an idea that i think you might like, and hopefully might support. We now have the platform to do the VR. The software is built for running moral dilemmas. But here is the very exciting potential: if we had a second set up of the hardware, we could use it to travel around the world to test different, and unique clinical populations, such as the patients in South Africa that have bilateral damage to the amygdala; Damasio's frontal lobe patients; Viding's kids who have been genotyped for psychopathy; to Germany with a collaborator who has genotyped kids with a gene that either expresses a low or high level of serotonin/dopamine; autistics in England and Italy; psychopaths in Holland and in USA. By testing these differnt populations with the same tool, we will nail the underlying mechanisms that support moral decision making, and that fall down due to deficits. Price tag: — $80k. Damasio is keen to talk if you want to bring him into the conversation. best marc Marc Hauser, Harvard College Professor Departments of Psychology and Human Evolutionary Biology Harvard University 33 Kirkland St, Cambridge, MA, 02138 office tel/fax: 617496-7077 URL: www.wjh.harvard.cdu/—mnkylab For Appointment: I. check my calendar at: EFTA_R1_00193312 EFTA01820416 when k f r l in info: login: password: 2. email me with possible days and times The information contained in this communication is confidential, may be attorney-client privileged, may constitute inside information, and is intended only for the use of the addressee.
