In recognition of the ethical issues raised by advancements in neuroinformatics, INCF has partnered with the International Neuroethics Society (INS) to deliver a webinar series to advance ethical practices in neuroscience and neuroinformatics research. The webinar series organized by the Emerging Issues Task Force and will be streamed live by INS once a month, from January to June, 2021.
