Duke Science & Society Dinner DialoguesNoninvasive brain stimulation techniques have been shown to effectively modulate brain function, accelerate learning, and improve recovery.

This Dinner Dialogue will address the pragmatic and ethical considerations of neurostimulation to gain a competitive advantage.
