Profile

Dr Stephen Rainey is a senior researcher in philosophy and ethics, specialising in neuroethics and neurophilosophy as part of a wider philosophy and technology agenda. His background is in analytic philosophy of language, discourse ethics, and governance theories, with a smattering of physics along the way. These themes come together in his 2023 book Philosophical Perspectives on Brain Data, which raises and addresses questions about how neurotechnologies can and ought to be used. He is currently exploring intersections between neurotechnologies and LLMs, especially the prospect of mind-reading technology. He applies his expertise in ethical governance too in the "Pandemic and Disaster Preparedness Centre" (PDPC) which is a multidisciplinary research centre aiming to promote best practices for anticipating and responding to emergencies of various kinds.
