Dr. Emma Harris is a leading voice in the emerging field of neuroethics, with a focused expertise on the dual-use dilemma of neuroscience and neurotechnology. Her most influential work, the 2021 paper "Opinion on 'Responsible Dual Use' Political, Security, Intelligence and Military Research of Concern in Neuroscience and Neurotechnology," has garnered 11 citations and serves as a foundational ethical framework for the field. In this landmark piece, Harris systematically identifies how advancements in brain science—originally intended for clinical therapies—can be repurposed for political, security, and military applications to access, assess, and affect human thought, emotion, and behavior. Her major contribution lies in defining "research of concern" and proposing a responsible dual-use governance model that balances scientific progress with ethical safeguards. This work has been instrumental in shaping policy discussions at the intersection of neuroscience and national security. Dr. Harris’s research is essential reading for anyone interested in the responsible stewardship of powerful neurotechnologies, establishing her as a critical thinker ensuring that innovation does not outpace ethical oversight.
