Job specification | ||
The PhD project is part of a newly started research project on ‘Prognosticating of patients in coma: towards a responsible practice’, funded by the Dutch organization for Scientific Research (NWO) under its program ‘Responsible Innovation’ and several private partners. This multidisciplinary project investigates under which technical, medical, ethical and social conditions an emerging EEG-based technology may contribute to a responsible practice of prognosticating for patients in coma after cardiac arrest. The ultimate aim is to embed these conditions in the material and social components of prognostic practices. The project will be carried out by researchers from neurophysiology, philosophy/ethics and health technology assessment. Project leader is dr. Marianne Boenink, department of Philosophy. Tasks |
