“…In 2017, the NRRIC was charged with the development of national priorities for ensuring an environment of responsible research and innovation across all areas of brain research. The committee recognized that neuroinnovation creates a number of ethical tensions that need to be balanced to realize the promise of neuroscience: these tensions capture the five neuroethical questions for neuroscientists (NeQNs) identified at the 2017 Global Neuroethics Summit (Rommelfanger et al, 2018). Here, we address these questions and outline a neuroethical framework being developed for the Australian Brain Initiative.…”

Neuroethics is central to the Australian Brain Initiative's aim to sustain a thriving and responsible neurotechnology industry. Diverse and inclusive community and stakeholder engagement and a trans-disciplinary approach to neuroethics will be key to the success of the Australian Brain Initiative. Australia has a strong history of neuroscience discovery and neurotechnology translation, which led to the launch of medical device companies including in hearing (Cochlear), vision (Bionic Eye), pain (Saluda Medical), epilepsy management (IBM Research Australia), cognitive assessment (Cogstate), and brain-computer interfaces (EMOTIV). The Australian Brain Alliance (ABA) aims to further catalyze technological and scientific advances to sustain a thriving neurotechnology environment in Australia and engage global collaboration across industry and science. Major investment in an Australian Brain Initiative is needed to coordinate and build capacity in basic neuroscience and provide discovery pipelines that will translate discovery into tangible therapeutic applications. The ABA brings together diverse strengths in Australian brain science across cellular and molecular neuroscience; neurophysiology; clinical, cognitive, and behavioral neuroscience; psychology; computational neuroscience; and neuroengineering to work with industry partners and end-users. The goals are to develop more accurate methods of brain recording and stimulation, wearable devices that capitalize on recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, and new methods for cognitive assessment and behavioral adaptation to better prevent, predict, and treat mental and neurological disorders and maximize learning across the lifespan.

“…Recognizing the importance of neuroethics for brain science and technology, Chinese scientists and ethicists have been advocating for the integration of ethical, legal, and social issues into the planning phases and future implementation of the China Brain Project. We assessed the five neuroethics questions for neuroscientists (NeQNs) proposed at the 2017 Global Neuroethics Summit (October 17 and 18, 2017, Daegu City, Korea) (Rommelfanger et al, 2018) in the context of traditional Chinese culture and juxtaposed the legacy of Confucianism with contemporary thinking. In this paper, we summarize ethical issues more relevant to the China Brain Project and explain our plans to address them.…”

“…A global perspective is therefore essential for neuroethics. Among the issues requiring a global perspective is the coordination of large-scale neuroscience research programs (Amadio et al 2018;Grillner et al 2016), the governance of ethically controversial brain-related research and interventions, the impact of AI-driven research and innovation in neuroscience and neurotechnology (Yuste et al 2017), and the need for an inclusive vision in understanding and responding to the neurological and mental health impact of the critical global challenge of environmental changes (Cabrera et al 2016).…”

Neuroethics research and scholarship intersect with dynamic academic disciplines in science, engineering, and the humanities. On the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the formation of the International Neuroethics Society, we identify current and future topics for neuroethics and discuss the many social and political challenges that emerge from the converging dynamics of neurotechnologies and artificial intelligence. We also highlight the need for a global, transdisciplinary, and integrated community of researchers to address the challenges that are precipitated by this rapid sociotechnological transformation.
