Overview

Edward J. Neafsey is a researcher affiliated with Loyola University Chicago in the United States. Their work primarily centers on the field of neuroscience, with a particular focus on cognitive neuroscience. This specialization encompasses investigations into brain mechanisms related to cognition and behavior.

The main topics covered in their research include:

  • Free Will and Agency
  • Neuroethics, Human Enhancement, Biomedical Innovations
  • Psychology of Moral and Emotional Judgment

Neafsey has published work in the journal Consciousness and Cognition, contributing to discussions on human intention and action. Among their recent publications is a 2021 paper titled "Conscious intention and human action: Review of the rise and fall of the readiness potential and Libet's clock." This paper explores concepts related to the readiness potential and timing measurements associated with conscious intention.

Their research outputs currently include one publication in Consciousness and Cognition, with three publications overall attributed to neuroscience and cognitive neuroscience fields. The focus on topics such as free will and agency aligns closely with interdisciplinary discussions in neuroethics and psychology, reflecting a broad engagement with moral and emotional judgment processes in neuroscience.
