Neurotechnology’s complexity and potential stems from its being at the intersection between disciplines including neuroscience, chemistry, biotechnology, computer science, pharmaceuticals, medical technology. The promises that neurotechnology holds to help people with disabilities are as big as the ethical concerns they raise, if abused, as neurotechnology can affect our identity, autonomy, privacy, sentiments, behaviors and overall well-being, i.e. our being humans.

However, the design of a well-crafted, effective governance model for neurotechnology needs to be informed by a comprehensive understanding of the scientific and technological landscape. This is what this publication proposes, in support of the policy discussion of our 194 Member States.
