“…In the domain of sports, many athletes have felt peer pressure to use performance-enhancing drugs, despite their illegality, in order to remain competitive [ 123 ]. Other scholars have pointed out that coercion may only be a practical concern if a given neurotechnology is both effective and has demonstrated a propensity for widespread social uptake [ 124 ]. While to date, no contemporary pharmacological or neurotechnological enhancement intervention has achieved widespread social uptake, coercion may be a potential future concern given the rapid development of neurotechnological tools.…”

Advancements in novel neurotechnologies, such as brain computer interfaces (BCI) and neuromodulatory devices such as deep brain stimulators (DBS), will have profound implications for society and human rights. While these technologies are improving the diagnosis and treatment of mental and neurological diseases, they can also alter individual agency and estrange those using neurotechnologies from their sense of self, challenging basic notions of what it means to be human. As an international coalition of interdisciplinary scholars and practitioners, we examine these challenges and make recommendations to mitigate negative consequences that could arise from the unregulated development or application of novel neurotechnologies. We explore potential ethical challenges in four key areas: identity and agency, privacy, bias, and enhancement. To address them, we propose (1) democratic and inclusive summits to establish globally-coordinated ethical and societal guidelines for neurotechnology development and application, (2) new measures, including “Neurorights,” for data privacy, security, and consent to empower neurotechnology users’ control over their data, (3) new methods of identifying and preventing bias, and (4) the adoption of public guidelines for safe and equitable distribution of neurotechnological devices.

“…The International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) has approved the use of this technology from the 2014 World Football Championship (https://football-technology.fifa.com/es/media-tiles/ fifa-epts-wearables-licensees-and-certified-products /). The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), an organization that governs collegiate (nonprofessional) sports in the United States, approved the use of personal wearable technology during competition for the sole purpose of monitoring the health and safety of athletes [22] . Similarly, the MLB approved the use of such equipment [23] .…”

<p>Recent technological advances, including storage space and computational algorithms, allow the collection and storage of a large number of biometric variables related to motion performance. The purpose of this study is to recognize the importance of portable technology in the field of sports and the international and national laws regulating the collection, use and storage of athletes’ sensitive biometric data, taking professional football players in Costa Rica as an example. The information provided and discussed is a relevant and up-to-date input for the training of sports professionals. Unlike international standards, Costa Rica’s sports biometric legislation is unclear. It is also clear that there is a need to establish interdisciplinary educational programs in the field of sports analysis.</p>

“…Findings can then be targeted towards specific treatment plans in order to enhance one’s overall health and wellbeing (Fins, 2000). Under these circumstances, most participants are willing to give up privacy concerns in exchange for personal gain (Arnold and Sade, 2017). These tools that enable digital surveillance hold data-in-confidence between a patient and his/her medical specialist and are protected in most cases under a state or country’s health non-disclosure laws (Northoff, 2006).…”

The ethics of experimental research employing intrusive technologies in tourism: A collaborative ethnography perspective

This study probes the ethics of intrusive technologies for experimental research in tourism, through the lens of collaborative ethnography. Amidst the increasing uptake of technology to assess participant responses, the role of ethics in an experimental setting has received scant attention in tourism and hospitality. While intrusive technologies such as eye tracking, skin sensors and neuroscience headgear become more ubiquitous, the ethical boundaries of using such equipment are increasingly blurred and inconsistently approved. Seeking convergence of ethics concerning intrusive technologies is complicated when framing political spaces, target audiences and management of data obtained. Rather than view the role of intrusive technologies as a dichotomous outcome of ethical or unethical approaches, this paper argues that ethics needs to be contextually embedded with increased collaboration and co-creation in the application preparation and approval process.
