In recent years, providers outside mainstream healthcare settings have been offering neurotherapies for diagnostics and treatment for a wide range of indications, such as depression, autism and post-traumatic stress disorder. Such therapies include a variety of neurofeedback, neuroimaging, and experimental and off-label brain stimulation techniques. Given that the efficacy of these alternative therapies is widely contested, the provision of such services raises a number of ethical and legal questions. Ethical issues include, among others, misleading statements made by providers, potential harms to users and provider competency, while legal questions concern licensing and scope of practice. In this seminar, I will provide an overview of these therapies and of the relevant ethical and legal considerations. In addition, I will present some preliminary themes that have emerged from an ongoing interview study on the experiences of users of neurofeedback services.

In recent years, an increasing number of intraoperative neuroscience studies have been supported by the NIH through the BRAIN initiative. Some of these studies take advantage of intraoperative situations—such as Parkinson’s disease patients undergoing deep brain stimulation surgery—to advance basic neuroscience knowledge. However, the use of neurosurgical patients as human research subjects raises important ethical considerations, particularly regarding informed consent and undue influence, as well as subjects’ motivations for participation. In this talk, I will present results from a recent empirical study that examined these considerations and assessed informed consent recall in Parkinson’s disease patients who participated in an intraoperative neuroscience study at the University of Pennsylvania.
