BIS To Host Brain-Computer Interface Conference – Feb. 16 & 17, 2023

The Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security ("BIS") recently announced a two-day hybrid conference later this month on brain-computer interface ("BCI") technology. The conference will "further BIS's and the public's understanding of the current status . . . and anticipated future developments in research and applications" of BCI technology. BIS administers the U.S. government's dual-use export controls regime under the Export Administration Regulations. Information presented by industry and other parties at the conference could influence whether and to what extent BIS imposes additional trade regulatory requirements on companies that transact in or otherwise produce, design, test, manufacture, fabricate, or develop BCI hardware, software, and/or technology.
