ETHICS-2025 Session A4 -Workshop: IEEE Neuroethics Framework World Café: ETHICS-2025 Special Session, Saturday, June 7 2025, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM CDT.

The IEEE Neuroethics Framework is an international, multi-year, volunteer-led initiative by IEEE BRAIN designed to provide ethical guidance for engineers, researchers, applied scientists, practitioners, and neurotechnology companies. It brings together a range of stakeholders, including engineers, scientists, clinicians, ethicists, legal experts, social scientists, and those with lived experience to develop a comprehensive ethical framework across nine different applications: Medical, Wellness, Education, Work, Employment, Military, Sports, Entertainment, and Marketing. This workshop provides an avenue to solicit new perspectives for three applications: Workplace, Entertainment, and Sports. It uses a “World Café” style method that the IEEE Neuroethics Framework team has employed previously to generate novel insights across a variety of stakeholders. Participants will leave with an appreciation for the complexities of current and emerging neurotech across a range of applications, with a particular focus on neurotech in the workplace, entertainment, and sports. Their feedback will directly impact the production and revision of a series of white papers that, together, make up the IEEE Neuroethics Framework.
