“…Novel hardware and software developments also present an opportunity to improve diagnosis and treatment strategies for neuropsychiatric conditions, allowing patients to acquire and manage information about their own health status in lower cost, non-invasive manners (Goverdovsky et al, 2017; Piwek et al, 2016) and potentially establishing a direct and continuous link with their health professionals. It should be noted that questions relating to both the clinical validity and ethical implications of asking patients to incorporate wearable and/or hearable technologies in their daily lives still persist, some have identified the need for the determination of “neuro-rights” (Sommaggio et al, 2004; Viosca, 2018).…”

Mobile Brain/Body Imaging: Challenges and opportunities for the implementation of research programs based on the 4E perspective to cognition

Cognitive dynamics are multimodal, and they need to integrate real-time feedback to be adaptive and appropriate. However, cognition research still relies on mostly unimodal paradigms using simple motor tasks in laboratory-based static situations. This paper addresses this limitation by presenting the Mobile Brain/Body Imaging approach based on the Embodied, Embedded, Extended, and Enactive perspective, which complements traditional laboratory work while also facilitating ecologically valid applications. First, we briefly review Mobile Brain/Body Imaging technologies used to obtain functional and structural images of the Brain/Body System during natural cognition. Specifically: mobile cognitive electrophysiology, mobile functional neurovascular dynamics, and mobile behavioral measurements. Second, we review the development of Mobile Brain/Body Imaging/4E in Chile. Finally, we discuss challenges and opportunities. We conclude that although this new epistemic/methodological approach is promising, there is a need for greater portability, robust equipment, and data-analysis tools that can integrate signals from the brain/body-in-the-world system. Future experimental designs need to re-consider their underlying logic and increase their ecological validity by-perhaps-modifying the physical spaces in which experiments are conducted.

“…1) Cognitive liberty: The concept of cognitive liberty expands on traditional definitions of freedom of thought by also excluding the possibility of an individual being coerced to a thought by neurotechnologies (39). In other words, cognitive liberty allows the individuals to refuse coercive uses of neurotechnologies (37).…”

“…In other words, cognitive liberty allows the individuals to refuse coercive uses of neurotechnologies (37). In complement, the right to cognitive liberty, should, in principle, include positive formulations, such as equal access to the neurotechnologies themselves, if those technologies are deemed ethical (39). Given the close relation between cognitive liberty and the universal principles of freedom, it is likely that these rights will be widely accepted by the global community.…”

“…In addition, recent interest (by academic stakeholders and other disciplinary specialists) in the regulation of emerging neurotechnologies and specifically the notion of "neurorights" provides another unique opportunity for developing inclusive neuroethics engagement experiences (Ienca, 2021). Thus far, discussions on neurorights have tended to revolve around interpreting neuroethical provisions in terms of rights and obligations including both moral rights and legal rights in the sense of international human rights law (Ienca and Andorno, 2017;Yuste et al, 2017;Lavazza, 2018;Sommaggio and Mazzocca, 2020). A growing number of countries are exploring novel neurorights governance (Anonymous, 2020b(Anonymous, ,c, 2021 which has generated a lively discussion largely amongst academic scholars and policymakers.…”

Neuroscience research has been expanding, providing new insights into brain and nervous system function and potentially transformative technological applications. In recent years, there has been a flurry of prominent international scientific academies and intergovernmental organizations calling for engagement with different publics on social, ethical, and regulatory issues related to neuroscience and neurotechnology advances. Neuroscientific activities and outputs are value-laden; they reflect the cultural, ethical, and political values that are prioritized in different societies at a given time and impact a variety of publics beyond the laboratory. The focus on engagement in neuroscience recognizes the breadth and significance of current neuroscience research whilst acknowledging the need for a neuroethical approach that explores the epistemic and moral values influencing the neuroscientific agenda. The field of neuroethics is characterized by its focus on the social, legal, and philosophical implications of neuroscience including its impact on cultural assumptions about the cognitive experience, identity, consciousness, and decision-making. Here, we outline a proposal for neuroethics engagement that reflects an enhanced and evolving understanding of public engagement with neuroethical issues to create opportunities to share ideation, decision-making, and collaboration in neuroscience endeavors for the benefit of society. We demonstrate the synergies between public engagement and neuroethics scholarship and activities that can guide neuroethics engagement.
