    My new piece in , "Separating Neuroethics from Neurohype," arguing AGAINST concerns raised by et al.'s paper on consumer neurotechnology. Rare to see disagreement like this in neuroethics, but IMO these debates are important 1/

    More neuro-snake-oil: this company raised ~$300k without no info about their science. The best part: they showcase effusive media comments, but the quotes are actually just outtakes from their own press release that was syndicated on Bloomberg, Yahoo, etc

    Quite the surprise twist: SmileDirect, the direct-to-consumer teeth aligner company that “disrupted” the dental industry by circumventing dentists/orthodontists, will now sell its products directly to…. dentists and orthodontists!

    I stand corrected. Seems like Neurocore is buying up Muses & reselling them as their own "Neurothrive" devices, while also copying & photoshopping Muse photos. What a bizarre thing for a multi-million dollar company to do. But not totally surprising:

    Looks like there's a previously unreported partnership between Neurocore (neurofeedback company & subject of a recent complaint) & . Neurocore's at-home headset, branded Neurothrive, appears to just be the Muse, albeit w/ photoshop work to remove Muse logo.

    Faculty member comes up to me after my talk at the OB/GYN department and starts talking about a potential collaboration w/ her post-doc. I'm distracted b/c she looks familiar but I can't place her. Then it hits: "Wait, did you deliver my baby?" (She did.)

    That feeling when... you set up your first TV, sit down to watch a documentary on the new app you’ve discovered, and find that your own film (with a poster image of your own head) is featured right there on the home screen. CC:

    One of these days a truly ridiculous genetic company is going to come along and we'll all realize how bogus this stuff is, right? 🤑
