Addressing inequities in neurotechnology design, research participation, and adoption for a more inclusive future.
Catch up on the latest from Neurotech4All.
We brought researchers and community members together for two practical, conversational workshops. Here’s what we did, and why we’re excited to share the outcomes soon.
At ParCon (24–25 October, Birmingham), we met dozens of people living with Parkinson’s. These conversations that are already shaping our DBS research and next steps.
Our co-designed PPI work with Sheffield’s Israac Community Centre, shaping more inclusive neurotechnology, has been featured in the EPSRC Healthcare Technologies Newsletter.
Our project is highlighted on ARIA’s official website as part of the Future Adoption Opportunity Space, showcasing our work on equitable and inclusive neurotechnology.
As part of our new collaboration with Fatima Community Mosque, we are hosting a community workshop on brain research to explore barriers, cultural considerations, and ways to make neurotechnology more inclusive.
Our team, in collaboration with ISRAAC Somali Community Centre, has submitted a manuscript to the Journal of Neural Engineering on fostering inclusive participation in neurotechnology research, supported by NeuroMod and ARIA.
Dr Mahnaz Arvaneh will give a talk on inclusive neurotechnology at the BrainTech Alliance event in London on Tuesday, 9 September 2025.
At the ISRC-CN³ Summer School hosted by Ulster University, Dr Mahnaz Arvaneh delivered two talks on implicit brain–computer interaction and the roadmap towards equitable neurotechnology.
The University of Sheffield has announced that our project will lead new ARIA-funded research on inclusive precision neurotechnologies, as part of a £69 million national initiative.
Funded by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA), Neurotech4all explores how neurotechnology can be developed and implemented in ways that are inclusive and accessible to a wide range of people and contexts. The project focuses on identifying structural and technical factors that shape access and outcomes across different populations.
Our team brings together expertise across neuroscience, engineering, social science, and community-based research. We aim to inform how technologies are evaluated and applied so that they better reflect the diversity of those who may use them.
