This study was aimed to assess attitudes and knowledge of 40 people from different social status toward the scientific interventions in cognitive neuroenhancement. It is in order to inquire about the moral acceptance of the biotechnologically viable in behavioral neuroscience. Both, quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed. No differences in attitude towards interventions according to the level of knowledge were presented. Finally a central tendency was observed toward the ethical perceptions about the mentioned interventions, in spite of having found moral differences in moral acceptability among the different groups.
