**To RSVP, click on MORE INFORMATION below**Can drugs help us think better and achieve more? If so, should they be banned or required? This interdisciplinary conference addresses the neurobiological, psychological, philosophical, and legal implications of using stimulant drugs as cognitive enhancers, as treatment for ADHD or narcolepsy, or for recreation. The speakers, who will include both prominent experts and Duke students, will also consider potential health risks and ethical issues raised by cognitive enhancement. The final panel of students, faculty, and administrators will focus on the unique Duke Community Standard, which classifies non-prescribed use of cognitive enhancers as a form of cheating.
