“…In France, it is becoming crucial to intensify and structure reflections on the ethical and legal issues of neurosciences and neurotechnologies, as is being done in the projects of the NIH Brain Initiative 2 [54], Emory University, within the Emory Center for Ethics, in Australia [55] and South Korea [56]. An international consortium, the International Brain Initiative (IBI) [12] , [13], in which France is represented by its very active participation in the Human Brain Project [57] , [ 58] , [59], is currently being structured. The IBI's neuroethics working groups are responsible for identifying the objectives, goals and challenges of neuroscience, by initiating an inclusive dialogue on/with the actors of neuroethics [12].…”

This project, of international and global dimension, will contribute to establishing a solid basis for intercultural neuroethics and to creating a culturally sensitive community of neuroethicists.…”

“…The neuroethical contours and issues imposed by the health crisis have yet to be defined, formulated and adjusted. This very young discipline, officially born in 2002 [11], is structured through international projects and consortiums, such as the International Brain Initiative [12] , [13]. The problems of the effects of containment and deconfinement on the mental health of citizens show the extent to which we need to reflect on neuroethical issues.…”

How can neuroscience help everyone to live and care for our confined brains? Understanding and studying human behaviour allows us to measure the impact of such confinement on each of us and to identify those who need help. The challenges are to understand the psychological repercussions following confinement and to understand how neuroscience and neurotechnology can be very interesting tools for dealing with the health crisis. Neuroscience is changing our traditional philosophical and ethical views by providing information about the biological basis of our moral behaviour. The exception of the brain is at the heart of neuroethical thinking and discourse. Neuroethics is an interdisciplinary discipline placed at the intersection between the human sciences and the neurosciences, and aims to help understand how knowledge and research in neurosciences and neurotechnologies will affect the future of society, their impact on humans, relationships, daily life, the labour market ... but also how they can help and provide solutions and answers to the questions of citizens in a health crisis. But it's a double-edged sword, collecting and analyzing brain data in real time seems to be increasingly simple and within everyone's reach, without having the hindsight of the real meaning of these data, allowing one day to read people's thoughts, control them and manipulate them. It is becoming clear that the boundaries between medical and non-medical uses of neuroscience and neurotechnology are becoming very porous, inviting us to reflect on neuroethical issues in order to put safeguards on these uses.
