Neurolaws and privacy rights are still in the development stages. Neurological advances have allowed scientists to connect electrodes to the brain for analytical procedures. These electrodes can be connected in a non-invasive manner so they can download brain data. Now, this brain data can be analyzed to help patients with…
According to Biomedcentral, the four laws of neurotechnology are as follows: (1) right to cognitive liberty; (2) right to mental privacy; (3) right to mental integrity; and (4) right to psychological continuity. We’ve discussed some of the legal and ethical issues related to neurotechnology laws in previous articles. Today, our…
Neurotechnology device manufacturers should take legal and ethical issues into consideration when implementing microchips into a patient’s body. There are two methods being used at this time. First, is the “non-invasive” method where electrodes are inserted on the head’s surface as electrode caps which pick up electrical fields from the…
We can all agree that the brain is one of the most important organs we have in our bodies. The human brain is in charge of biological and neurological procedures such as memory, speech, perception, sleep, and emotion. What is neurotechnology? Neurotechnology is a scientific field that consolidates and connects…
The European Union has developed an artificial intelligence strategy to simplify research and rules and regulations. It’s focusing on building a trustworthy environment. The European Union’s approach to this new technology is to implement a legal framework to address fundamental rights and safety risks. It plans to implement rules to…
