About

Nicole conducts research into theories of responsibility, and she studies how these theories inform ethical, political and legal debate.

Her current research project in the Department of Philosophy at Macquarie University is entitled "Reappraising the Capacitarian Foundation of Neurolaw". This project investigates whether capacitarian intuitions about the relationship between mental capacity and responsibility still obtain in contexts where mental capacity has been increased (e.g. restored or enhanced).

Before this, Nicole worked for three years in the Philosophy Department at Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands on another neurolaw research project entitled "The Brain and The Law". For details of that project please see her 3TU.Ethics home page http://bit.ly/bNc4Qd
