The last decade has seen unprecedented advances in the capability of neuroimaging technologies for studies of the human brain. Many of these advances have targeted increasingly specific investigations of brain function to understand and potentially alter our thoughts, actions and emotions. The advent of low cost, wearable brain imaging technologies which can be implemented in a wide range of settings is changing our ambitions of how, when, where and why we acquire brain data. As a result neurotech has become big business with key growth drivers in gaming, defence and personal brain monitoring. The ethical and societal challenges presented by these developments are wide ranging. In this talk I will reflect on my experiences as a developer of brain imaging systems and consider how these challenges can be addressed.

Host: Prof Sarah Lloyd-Fox
