In this, the first of three talks, Charles Gross discusses attitudes toward invasive research on animals which has greatly varied over history. Widespread opposition to experiments on animals first arose in Victorian England and led to the regulation of research on animals in Great Britain and eventually in much of the rest of the world. Regulations have continued to evolve through to our day.Charles Gross is Professor of Psychology at Princeton University and at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. As a neuroscientist, his research has focused on the role of the brain in vision and how we recognize objects and human faces. He has written Brain, Vision, Memory: Tales in the History of Neuroscience and A Hole in the Head: More Tales in the History of Neuroscience. He is currently working on the consideration of ethical problems raised by developments in neuroscience.
