"37 recommendations on the ethical implications of advances in brain science were presented on 23/01 at the European Parliament. The conclusions were reached after a unique debate across Europe known as 'Meeting of Minds' using the techniques of participatory democracy in which 12 European organisations, led by the King Baudouin Foundation, pooled their expertise in public consultation. They randomly selected 126 laypeople from across Europe who then interviewed some of the Continent’s leading brain scientists, neurosurgeons and psychiatrists as well as pressure groups and patients' associations." (from the King Baudouin Foundation: e-news - February 2006)
