B. Neurorights Report
Safeguarding Brain Data: Assessing the Privacy Practices of Consumer Neurotechnology Companies is a comprehensive report analyzing the data practices and user rights of consumer neurotechnology products. It explores the privacy policies and user agreements of 30 companies with publicly available products that can be purchased online, benchmarking them against global data protection standards and considering the unique sensitivities of neural data. This report contributes critical information about the practices that consumer neurotechnology companies today apply to neural data and the rights that consumers have in relation to them.

C. Michigan State University Neuroscience Program
The Michigan State University Neuroscience Program is proud to present the online graduate certificate in Neuroscience and the Law. Designed for students and working professionals, this program provides the scientific knowledge necessary to understand how neuroscience can be applied to the field of criminal justice. No prior knowledge of neuroscience is required for admission. Neuroscience and the Law requires completion of five courses: two required and three elective. Included in the curriculum are general neuroscience principles, neuroethics, substance use, behavioral disorders, methods for assessing and manipulating the nervous system, and cognitive enhancement. Seminars by professionals will survey the ethical, legal, and social implications of neuroscientific research, in addition to the experiences they have had with neurotechnology in their respective fields.
Courses are offered online in the Fall, Winter and Summer semesters. For more information please visit website or contact the Michigan State University Neuroscience Program at 517-353-8947 or neurosci@msu.edu
Application deadline is July 1st.
Neurolaw News is produced by The MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Law and Neuroscience , headquartered at Vanderbilt Law School, 131 21st Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37203, under the directorship of Owen D. Jones.
