In 2018 NIH established both a new BRAIN Initiative Working Group of the ACD and a BRAIN Initiative Neuroethics Subgroup to review recent scientific progress and propose updates to the BRAIN Initiative scientific and neuroethical strategic plans for the ACD’s consideration. The Working Group has hosted multiple public workshops, town halls, and a previous request for information to obtain feedback on the progress and future of the BRAIN Initiative.
Using this information, the Working Group of the ACD is sharing its initial thoughts for guiding the next stage of the BRAIN Initiative (https://www.braininitiative.nih.gov/brain-research-through-advancing-innovative-neurotechnologies-brain-initiative-20), and is requesting public input.
NIH is soliciting input from all interested stakeholders, including members of the scientific community, the private sector, health professionals, professional societies, advocacy groups, patient communities, and other interested members of the public.
