AndEducation goes hand-in-hand with engagement…. Ethicists who understand the scientific questions that neuroscientists are pursuing are better positioned to help responsibly guide research. And scientists who are well-educated about the implications of their work can be good stewards of their own research… (emphasis added)

At the time this paper was written the NIH had already hosted three meetings of scientists and ethicists in pursuit of these goals.

Details of these meetings are available on the NIH website. So, for example, it is clear from the summary of the meeting on August 3, 2016 that the problem of dual use was under consideration [13]. The representative of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA):…discussed DARPA’s efforts towards integrating ethical, legal, and societal implications (ELSI) of new technologies into their BRAIN-funded research, through a neuroethics ELSI panel. A member of that panel, Dr. Jim Giordano, discussed a recently developed operational neurotechnology risk assessment and mitigation paradigm (ON-RAMP), which entails querying, framing, and modelling patterns and trajectories of neuroscience and neurotechnology research and translational uses, and the ELSI generated by such advancements and their applications…
