Neurolaw Survey

Garret O'Connell sent me the following message:

"I am part of a neuroscience research group called SINAPSE. We are currently hosting a series of neuroethical debates about the potential impact of brain imaging on society with much the same aim as the LANP. To guide new policies and regulations over the use of brain imaging, we are seeking people to express their opinions and concerns about these issues in a short survey."

So, please drop by and respond to their survey!
