EMPATHY AND FAIRNESS

EMPATHY AND FAIRNESS

emotions

We’re here to discuss empathy and fairness. In the last few years there have been
dramatic changes in our attitude to concepts such as these. While we have always
known that empathy and fairness describe a vital part of human culture, very few
have had the courage to apply science to these topics. Now this has changed and
there is much current research including computational models of fairness and
brain imaging studies on the neural basis of empathy. One of the purposes of this
meeting is to bring together people who have been studying these topics for some
time with those of us who are completely new to the area. We have a lot to learn
from each other.
