From an ethics ‘side dish’ to ‘your modus operandi’: neurotechnology researcher perspectives on the impacts of a decade of embedded ethics collaboration by Paul A. Tubig, Timothy E. Brown, Darcy McCusker, Michelle Pham, Eran Klein, Sara Goering

“…Our analysis of these data highlights three key themes from scientific collaborators about the impact of ethics integration: (1) the development of an ethical culture and expectation for ethics integration throughout the research and design process; (2) the usefulness of offering different modes of ethics engagement to foster productive collaborations between ethicists and researchers; and (3) the fostering of ethics capacity development within scientists themselves. We also report on researchers’ perspectives on the challenges of measuring the effectiveness of ethics integration.…”
