Description: The ethics of neurotechnology refers to the moral and philosophical considerations that arise from the development and use of technologies that interact with the human nervous system. This field encompasses a wide range of topics, from manipulating brain activity to cognitive enhancement and the treatment of neurological disorders. As neurotechnologies advance, critical questions emerge regarding mental privacy, informed consent, and the implications of altering brain function. Ethics in this context focuses not only on individual well-being but also on the social and cultural repercussions of these technologies. The potential to enhance human capabilities raises dilemmas about equity and access, as well as the definition of what it means to be human. Thus, the ethics of neurotechnology becomes an interdisciplinary field involving neuroscience, philosophy, sociology, and law, seeking to establish a framework that guides the responsible development and use of these innovations. In a world where technology is rapidly advancing, it is crucial that the ethics of neurotechnology be integrated into public dialogue and policy-making to ensure that the benefits of these technologies are distributed fairly and that individual rights are respected.
