Abstract: New neurotechnologies, including deep brain stimulation and implants, offer the promise of improving treatment for psychiatric conditions, disorders of consciousness, and brain injury. Simultaneously, they raise new questions about the ethics and policy implications of directly intervening in the brain. In this session, experts in neurotechnologies and ethics will explore how they integrate neuroethics alongside clinical research advances.
