About

Christoph Bublitz is a leading legal scholar at the intersection of neuroscience, ethics, and criminal law, whose work fundamentally rethinks human agency in an age of emerging neurotechnology. His most-cited paper, "Doing Things with Thoughts: Brain-Computer Interfaces and Disembodied Agency" (2018, 111 citations), explores how brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) create novel forms of action and interaction, challenging traditional legal and philosophical concepts of responsibility and embodiment. Bublitz’s research critically examines the implications of neurotechnologies for personal identity, mental privacy, and the boundaries of criminal liability, making him a key voice in the field of neurolaw. He has contributed to foundational debates on whether thoughts alone can constitute actions, and how legal systems should adapt to neural interventions. With his work cited across law, neuroscience, and philosophy, Bublitz is shaping the ethical and regulatory frameworks needed for a future where minds and machines increasingly merge.
