A Lawyer, a Philosopher, and Two Neurologists Walk Into a Bar…

Welcome back to Neurotech Pub!

In this episode, host and Paradromics CEO, Matt Angle, discusses ethical considerations around brain-computer interfaces. Our guests are Tim Brown, Leigh Hochberg, Sydney Cash, and Amanda Pustilnik. A central theme in the discussions will be how neuroethics differ from traditional medical ethics or bioethics and what we can draw from other fields and experiences to prepare for a world where BCI is more prevalent and more powerful.
