Exploring minds, making ethics less ✨scary✨

Nebula is a youth neuroethics org. We run workshops, publish explainers, and host open debates on brain science, AI, and what it means to be human—without the gatekeeping.

Ethics first

no hype — just clarity & care

💡 Today’s prompt: “Should brain‑computer interfaces be regulated like medicine or like software?”

What we care about

We sit at the intersection of neuroscience, AI, law, and ethics. Our vibe: rigorous, kind, and a little nerdy. No buzzwords without receipts.

🔬 Brain science literacy

From neurons to networks, we translate papers into plain language and cute diagrams so anyone can follow along.

⚖️ Human‑centered ethics

We debate hard questions with empathy—consent, privacy, fairness—grounded in philosophy and community needs.

🛠️ Responsible tech

BCIs, neurodata, cognitive enhancement: we build guidelines and frameworks schools and orgs can actually use.

📚 Nebula Syllabus

A 6‑week starter kit covering neuroanatomy, AI ethics, disability justice, and policy. Comes with slides, readings, and activities.

🧪 Lab Nights

Hands‑on demos: from EEGs to reaction‑time experiments. Safety first, hype second.

🗣️ Open Debates

Monthly community forums where anyone can argue (nicely) with snacks. Best argument wins stickers.
