The goal of this session is to hold a meaningful discussion on promoting neuroethics engagement in neuroscience from interdisciplinary perspectives. This interactive session is part of the 2021 BRAIN Initiative Investigators meeting (although outside of formal programming), and will feature an introduction on neuroethics engagement by Dr. Kafui Dzirasa from Duke University.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) BRAIN Initiative and the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science will co-host a town hall meeting on Wednesday, April 28, 2021 from 12:00 – 3:00 pm ET.

The BRAIN Initiative Challenge is a federal challenge opportunity (prize competition) for high school students curious about science, the brain, and the ethical implications of novel technologies being developed and applied to understand the brain and treat brain disorders.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together neuroscientists, tool developers/engineers, and industry partners to identify new non-invasive functional imaging tools that could be realized in the next five to ten years.

The purpose of this series of workshops, co-hosted by The BRAIN Initiative and the Department of Energy Office of Science, is to bring together researchers with a broad array of expertise to discuss the state of the art in mapping complete neural circuits, the opportunities for advancing connectomics technologies, and the challenges that need to be addressed to generate comprehensive maps of brain connectivity – “wiring diagrams” spanning the entire mammalian brain.

During this webinar, panelists based in academia and industry will highlight the challenges the pandemic has created for neuroscience employers and job seekers and provide job seekers with strategies for finding and applying for jobs at this time.

This workshop will feature progress updates from The BRAIN Initiative® project awardees and presentations from industry representatives on potential paths for follow-on dissemination and commercialization.
