The Neuro-Ethics and Law Research Group examines the legal status, realisation of rights, and access to justice of vulnerable groups. Our research focuses particularly on older people, persons with disabilities, and people with neurological conditions, such as dementia and epilepsy. We also study other groups who may face barriers to exercising their rights or accessing legal protection. Our aim is to produce knowledge and advance solutions that strengthen equality, legal protection, and full participation in society.

The research group takes an interdisciplinary approach, combining research in law, the social sciences, and health sciences. The group brings together and collaborates with legal scholars, social psychologists, sociologists, neurologists, and researchers from other disciplines. We use both qualitative and quantitative methods to develop a comprehensive understanding of the legal status of different groups, the realisation of their rights, and their access to justice. The research group also develops and conducts co-research, in which the people concerned, their family members and other close persons, and organisations representing them actively participate in the design and conduct of research and the application of its findings.
