To explore these challenges and the ethical issues raised by advances in brain science, IEEE Brain and the International Neuroethics Society are organizing a virtual film screening and panel discussion looking at the feature documentary 'I am Human,' which premiered at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival. The film explores the co-evolution of humans and technology by following three subjects with implantable brain interfaces and discussing the ethical implications of this technology on society.

How does the brain control the body? Understanding how millions of neurons work together to learn and control complex motor skills is a fundamental unsolved problem in neuroscience. We are a consortium of eight research groups developing new electrode systems and computational methods for investigating motor control. Our goal is to enable a comprehensive understanding motor function across species and behaviors. This collaboration will break down barriers between otherwise disparate research communities, creating a common framework for discovering how different brains generate different behaviors.
