10:30 AM

Panel 1: The data that is collected and stored by neurotechnologies and the inferences that can be made from these data

Speakers will discuss the inferences that can be drawn from shared data that are collected through neurotechnologies regularly used in BRAIN-funded studies with human participants. Speakers will cover functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), deep brain stimulation (DBS), structural brain imaging, and brain-computer interfaces (BCI).

Panel 2: Inferences to be drawn from data and their implications for data sharing

Speakers will discuss the inferences that can be drawn from shared data across technologies, including combining data types and collecting data through from implanted neurotechnologies. Furthermore, implications of the ability to decode semantic representations and effects of racially exclusionary practices in collecting and managing brain data on data sharing will be discussed.
