Professor Judy Illes of the University of British Columbia talks about ethical considerations that have arisen from rapid advances in neurotechnologies such as genetic engineering, brain implants, and brain-computer interfaces. Everyone has a stake in neuroethics – scientists, policy-makers, the media, information technology companies, and individual citizens. Professor Illes has been working to identify major issues in neuroethics and to facilitate interactions amongst the different stakeholders.
