About
Lise Bitsch is a leading voice in the ethics of emerging brain sciences, specializing in the responsible governance of dual-use neurotechnology. Her most influential work, the 2021 opinion piece on “Responsible Dual Use,” has garnered 11 citations and stands as a critical intervention in the field. In this paper, Bitsch tackles the pressing challenge of political, security, and intelligence research that exploits advances in neuroscience and neurotechnology to access, assess, and affect thought, emotion, and behavior. She argues that while much of this research is clinically directed, its potential for non-therapeutic applications demands a robust ethical framework. By foregrounding the concept of “responsible dual use,” Bitsch provides a nuanced roadmap for scientists and policymakers to anticipate and mitigate risks without stifling beneficial innovation. Her work is essential reading for anyone concerned with the intersection of brain science, security, and human rights. Through her scholarship, Bitsch has established herself as a key thinker ensuring that neurotechnology develops in alignment with democratic values and individual autonomy.
