Dr. Illes, trailblazing neuroethicist, is Professor of Neurology at
the University of British Columbia (UBC), Distinguished University
Scholar, UBC Distinguished Scholar in Neuroethics, and Director of
Neuroethics Canada. She holds appointments in UBC’s School of
Population and Public Health, and in Journalism, and in the
Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of
Washington, in Seattle. She is a pioneer of the field of
neuroethics through which she has made groundbreaking contributions
to cross-cultural ethical, legal, social and policy challenges at
the intersection of the brain sciences and biomedical ethics.
Dr. Illes received her PhD in Hearing and Speech Sciences and in
Neuropsychology from Stanford University in 1987, and turned to
ethics in 2000, 25 years ago. She was among the first to use high
density EEG recordings and pattern recognition to understand
language processing in neurodegenerative disease, and was part of
the revolution that functional MRI introduced. Together with others
whose vision for ethics for neuroscience led from within the
neurosciences, Dr. Illes has not only placed neuroethics on the
world map of , but has tirelessly trained the generation that leads
it today, and already those who will lead it tomorrow.
Dr. Illes has published 11 edited volumes, including three
handbooks in neuroethics and as Editor in Chief of the series of
volumes for Developments in Neuroethics and Bioethics. She has led
major research projects and hundreds of publications on invasive
and noninvasive technologies, fixed and portable imaging systems
such as MRI, biologics, pharmaceuticals, and devices, open science
and intellectual property protections. In 2023, she released an
award-winning film on neurotechnology ethics and decision-making
for children with drug resistant epilepsy. Dr. Illes has also
contributed significantly to the Canadian landscape in
understanding crosscultural perspectives on brain and mind,
including those of Indigenous People. She has received countless
awards and recognitions for her empirical work and her mentoring
alike.
Dr. Illes places a particular emphasis on issues of ethics in
neuroscience with attention to biomedicine, innovations that seek
to alleviate the burden of psychiatric and neurologic disease,
including spinal cord injury, both expected and unexpected
incidental findings, holism, human rights and health disparities.
With this open and broad perspective, she capably leads the
seven-nation International Brain Initiative dedicated to global
neuroscience that is inclusive and politically free.
Dr. Illes was awarded the Order of Canada, one of the country’s
highest recognition of its citizens, in 2017.
