Project Publications and Presentations


The project and its Working Group Members regularly publish and present on issues related to the ethics of neuroimaging. Below are presentations and publications specifically supported by the NIH Neuroethics administrative supplement (2018 - 2019), the NIH Bioethics administrative supplement (2019 - 2020), and the current NIH four-year grant on highly portable and cloud-enabled research (2020 - 2024).
