“Kick off Brain Awareness Week 2024 by stopping by our Shen Neurolaw Lab Open House. This 1-hour virtual event will allow you an opportunity to learn more about what we do all day at the intersection of neuroscience, law, ethics, and artificial intelligence. The event will be a free-flowing discussion powered by your questions about the field, about opportunities in the Lab, and about anything else. Professor Shen will be on hand, as will Emily Rodriguez, Senior Fellow in the Dana Career Network in Neuroscience & Society, and Lab Research Assistants. All are welcome, whether you know a lot or a little or nothing at all about neurolaw. The event is free, but registration is required. And a bonus! At the end of the hour we will hold a raffle to win a free copy of Professor Shen’s latest book: Brain Science for Lawyers, Judges, and Policymakers (with Jones, Schall, Hoffman & Wagner).”

Re-imagining an Inclusive Global Neuroethics: Views from the Global South

Presented by the Dana Foundation Career Network in Neuroscience & Society
Wednesday, March 27 at 9 AM EDT / 8 AM CDT / 7 AM MDT / 6 AM PDT || Virtual via Zoom
Register here (required): https://umn.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUld-ipqjwtHtPJqnUhJj00NCE_ecds1jnX#/registration

“As neuroscience continues to advance and develop cross-cutting interventions, so too does our need to grapple with the ethical implications of the emerging neuroscientific technologies and discoveries for society. Neuroethics as a field aims to ensure that neuroscience and neurotechnologies take into account the ethical, legal, social, and cultural implications of emerging innovations. Despite ongoing efforts and some promising attempts (Lombera & Illes, 2009), people from the global south continue to be underrepresented in global neuroethics discourses.

The underrepresentation of some groups leads us to reflect on who will likely benefit from the neuroscience and neurotechnologies, and to consider whether there are potential gaps – including possibly overlooked bias – in the research agendas, questions, methodologies, and resultant neurotechnologies (Matshabane, 2021; Webb, Esser & Kwasa, 2022). This has been reflected on by Wexler and Specker Sullivan (2021) who note that “neuroethics reflects a somewhat narrow set of values and perspectives, often focusing on emerging neuroscientific and neurotechnological
developments–which may only be accessible to those with greater resources.” Therefore, they state, that the “scholarship may not be broadly relevant but may reflect the concerns of a priviledged few, which is both a problem nationally [in the United States] and a barrier to a truly global neuroethics.” This virtual panel discussion hopes to foster conversations that stimulate an interest in more scholars from their regions engaging in important global neuroethics discourses. The speakers will begin by describing their work in neuroscience and society, their career trajectories and why they decided to get involved in the field. They will then delve into a discussion answering three questions.”

This panel includes Olivia Matshabane, PhD, Neuroethics Researcher, SR MRC Genomics of Brain Disorders Unit, Stellenbosch University; Jayashree Dasgupta, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, Samvedna Senior Care/Sangath; Diego Borbón, PhD, MSc. Researcher/Professor at Centre for Studies on Genetics and Law, CoFounder of Observatory of Neurolaw and Criminology; and Arleen Salles, PhD, MA. Senior Researcher, Executive Board Member of Institute of Neuroethics, Director of Neuroética Buenos Aires (NEBA).
