The first half of the meeting will take place as a joint session(pdf, 135 KB) between members of the MCWG and Neuroethics Working Group (NEWG) and will feature an update on NEWG activities.

Dr. Ngai and NIH staff will also give a presentation on promoting scientific excellence in the BRAIN Initiative through enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion.
