Implications of Neuroethics
There are ethical considerations around neurotechnologies that include access, privacy, safety, and well-being. Ensuring accessibility for individuals with disabilities and addressing research bias is crucial. Handling vast neural data raises privacy concerns for the future.
Existing Frameworks and Guidelines
The collection of large quantities of brain data raises questions about how to handle it and potential effects on agency and autonomy for users of brain technologies. There are many neuroethics organizations that are working to prioritize safety and patient protection to ensure the well-being, rights, and privacy of users.
Next Steps
Organizations such as BrainMind, the International Neuroethics Society, and OECD plan and host advisory meetings and events to further discussions in the neuroethics space with key leaders in the field. Contributions like these are the reason for advancements in the field and facilitate next steps moving forward.
