The Neuroethics Seminar Series
 
Plugged-In Patients: Brain-Computer Interfaces

Connecting the human brain to a computer is no longer science fiction. Patients unable to control their bodies will soon be able to control computers and external devices, like wheelchairs, using only mental processes, by means of a brain-computer interface.
 
Join us to hear from investigators at the cutting edge of brain-computer interface technology, and to discuss the ethical and philosophical implications of research and clinical care using these technologies.
