Regulating and helping shape the evolving phenomenon of Direct-to-Consumer Neuroscience

February 5, 2018 by SharpBrains

___

We’re proud to share that our CEO and Edi­tor-in-Chief Alvaro Fer­nan­dez is par­tic­i­pat­ing in a fas­ci­nat­ing and time­ly 2‑day meet­ing, host­ed by The Ban­bury Cen­ter at Cold Spring Har­bor Lab­o­ra­to­ry under the theme The evolv­ing phe­nom­e­non of Direct-to-Con­sumer Neu­ro­science, to help iden­ti­fy and address key open regulatory/ eth­i­cal issues relat­ed to the growth of per­va­sive neu­rotech­nolo­gies and dig­i­tal brain health plat­forms offered/ sold direct­ly to consumers.

The event is off-the-record so we won’t be able to blog about it, but here are some resources if inter­est­ed in learn­ing more about the gen­er­al con­text for the event:

  • The FDA cre­ates new Dig­i­tal Health unit to reimag­ine reg­u­la­to­ry paths in the age of scal­able, AI-enhanced innovation
  • Five rea­sons the future of brain enhance­ment is dig­i­tal, per­va­sive and (hope­ful­ly) bright
  • FDA clears first CBT-based dig­i­tal ther­a­peu­tic to treat sub­stance abuse disorders
  • The Fed­er­al Trade Com­mis­sion vs Lumos­i­ty: What does it mean for the brain train­ing market?
  • Mak­er of “neu­ro” func­tion­al drinks set­tles false adver­tis­ing complaint
  • The Fed­er­al Trade Com­mis­sion chal­lenges brain health claims by Pro­cera AVH dietary supplement
  • Who knows more about improv­ing vision, a) the Fed­er­al Trade Com­mis­sion or b) 60+ vision scientists
  • Impor­tant insights on the grow­ing home use of tDCS brain stim­u­la­tion: old­er-than-expect­ed users, pos­i­tive self-report­ed results for treat­ment of depres­sion but neg­a­tive for self-enhance­ment, and a cou­ple areas of con­cern (severe burns, frequency)
  • Solv­ing the Brain Fit­ness Puz­zle Is the Key to Self-Empow­ered Aging
  • Pre­sen­ta­tions dur­ing the ses­sion How will the Clin­i­cians, Patients and Con­sumers of the Future ensure appro­pri­ate use of brain enhance­ment meth­ods at the 2017 Sharp­Brains Vir­tu­al Sum­mit:
