Policies for Ethics and Regulation of Brain-Computer Interfaces
Monday, 27 April, 2026
Knowing Neurons talks with Elizabeth, Nada, Maarten, and Eric about brain-computer interfaces and their use across medical and consumer spaces. Elizabeth and Maarten, both neuromodulation researchers, discuss brain-computer interfaces in the research setting, which includes testing safety as well as potential efficacy for therapies. Nada outlines challenges on the ethics side, including engaging larger groups of both study participants and consumers. Senator Lucero brings expertise about the legislative process and data privacy at large. Together, all the guests consider how to best approach regulation of brain computer interfaces as the industry grows and spreads across different aspects of our lives in healthcare and beyond.Guests: Dr. Elizabeth Bottorff, PhD Nada Salem, MSc Dr. Maarten Ottenhoff, PhDMinnesota State Senator Eric Lucero Episode Notes/Relevant links:● Elizabeth’s policy paper● Nada’s policy paper ● BrainGate ● Eric’s bill● Insulin pump cybersecurity risk● Implantable Brain-Computer Interface Collaborative Community (iBCI-CC)● FDA Investigational Device Exemption● Institutional Review BoardI (IRB) 101● MnDRIVE Link to Knowing Neurons’Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/knowingneurons Produced by Jessica Froula
