Canada Research Chair in the Law and Ethics of Brain Technologies

The Canada Research Chair in the Law and Ethics of Brain Technologies leads a research program which aims to address the societal and regulatory challenges posed by brain-interfacing technologies.

The Chair’s research program especially focuses on using microphenomenological interview techniques to understand the experiences of living with and acting through neurotechnologies. It also seeks to integrate and centre the voices of the actual and intended users in the design and policy debates surrounding these devices.  

Led by Professor Jennifer Chandler, the research program will support and train the next generation of thinkers to take forward the work of understanding how these evolving technologies affect individuals and societies, and how to respond to the new powers they offer.
