Neuroethics

Led by Sara Goering and Eran Klein, the Neuroethics Thrust studies how ethical issues are intertwined with neural technologies. Issues include questions of privacy, security, moral and legal responsibility, changes in our understanding of agency (the capacity of individuals to act independently and make their own free choices) shifts in personal identity and social justice.

We have a commitment to the inclusion of disability perspectives in the design of devices intended to benefit people with disabilities. CSNE Neuroethics researchers do both theoretical research and writing, and empirical studies such as focus groups with intended end-users of neural engineering technology.

Neuroethics Research Thrust work consists of three principal activities:

• Education and outreach

• Research and scholarship

• Neuroscience and ethics engagement

Learn about these principal activities in more detail on the Neuroethics webpage.
