Abstract
This chapter talks a newly established Wellcome Centre for Neuroethics at the University of Oxford. In this case study, a group of 22 members participated. Twenty of them are academic researchers. They are trained in different academic disciplines, but at the time the fieldwork was conducted mainly worked in the field of neuroethics. As will be discussed below, this group of academics appear to be bound by shared research values and expertise rather than by the obligations of their disciplines and institutions. They interact with each other in different ways, and some intellectual exchange occurs between them.
