The Neurotech Justice Summit on June 20 will examine the meaning of “neurotech justice” and address the ethical, legal. social, and policy implications of emerging technologies. Hear from clinicians, legal scholars, ethicists, researchers, and community leaders.
This is the flagship convening of the Neurotech Justice Accelerator at Mass General Brigham, a Dana Center for Neuroscience & Society.

💡 New research from the Neurotech Justice Accelerator at Mass General Brigham, a Dana Center, looks into the public perception of neurotechnologies targeting mood, memory, and motor-based brain conditions. By tracking public and patient attitudes over time and addressing concerns, developers can refine neurotechnologies to meet the needs of society.

In @thetransmitter, neuroethicist Karen Rommelfanger shares a framework to help neuroscience researchers navigate new ethical issues in decoding brain activity and growing human brain cells.
On this day in 2002, the Dana Foundation sponsored a landmark meeting that helped launch the field of neuroethics. Since then, Dana has supported the International Neuroethics Society, promoted public dialogue, and helped integrate ethics into neuroscience education and training.

How can we ensure neurotechnology serves everyone—fairly and responsibly?
The Neurotech Justice Accelerator at Mass General Brigham (NJAM) is training the next generation of neuroscience and society leaders working across medicine, law, ethics, research, and technology. Two of NJAM’s co-directors share how their program is building a more just neurotech future—with training tracks for students and professionals.
ICYMI: Our latest NeuroSociety Stories episode features sociologist and MIT professor Oliver Rollins.
Rollins is a part of the Neurotech Justice Accelerator at Mass General Brigham, a Dana Center, where he works to ensure that emerging neurotechnologies are developed and applied in ways that are ethically grounded and socially just.
Learn more about his background and work.

Yes, this is an AI-generated fictional video, but blind users of The vOICe for Android are generally very pleased with the various types of stand-alone Vuzix smart glasses. Vuzix glasses are not cheap but we love them and are grateful for the consistent Vuzix support over the years. Elon Musk's Neuralink Blindsight will turn out to be no match.

Watch the latest episode of NeuroSociety Stories with sociologist and MIT professor Oliver Rollins.
Drawing from years of research at the intersection of science, law, and social justice, Rollins sheds light on how scientific discoveries are not only reshaping legal thinking, but also challenging how we define concepts like culpability, responsibility, and rehabilitation.

Some of us are headed to Munich next week for Neuroethics 2025, hosted by the International Neuroethics Society. We’re looking forward to further exploring neuroethics at the intersection of the brain and artificial intelligence, and to connecting with others there. #neuroethics2025 #neuroethics #neurosociety
Read the winning articles from the Loyola University Chicago Program for Neuroscience and Society’s journalism competition. Loyola undergrads report on topics related to addiction, neuromarketing, and depression. The second round of the Neuroscience Journalism Competition is open now, through May 15. Students at universities nationwide are invited to submit!

Remember the movie Re-Animator? Well, it’s back 😳
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re-Animator
Yale researchers restored circulation and cellular function in pig brains four hours postmortem using a perfusion system (BrainEx), preserving synaptic activity and gene expression. This work redefines the limits of ischemic damage and raises critical neuroethical concerns about the definition of brain death.
