In the first episode of our Science Policy mini-series, Knowing Neurons interview Erin Morrow. Erin participated in last year's Science Policy Paper competition with her paper, 'The Truth is in Your Eyes: Regulating the Covert Use of Pupil Biofeedback'. We discuss the different issues she touches upon in her work as well as other ethical concerns related to the latest developments in the filed of brain-computer interface.
