In the last decade neuroscientific experiments concerning moral choices and human moral behavior have started to pop up on the main scientific journals. His project discusses the relevance of these experimental data for normative ethics. He claims that neuroscience has not normative import if considered apart from traditional experimental psychology. Experimental psychology (and affective neuroscience as a part of it) can contribute to normative ethics in a significant but limited way, by showing us that some moral intuitions are influenced by factors that are uncontroversially irrelevant from the moral point of view (e.g. wording of a description, spatial distance).
