Picturing Personhood: Brain Scans and Biomedical Identity - In-Formation
Joseph Dumit
Based on interviews, media analysis, and participant observation at research labs and conferences, this book analyzes how assumptions designed into and read out of the experimental process reinforce specific notions about human nature. It demonstrates how brain scans contribute to our social dependence on scientific authority.
