“…and (b) what about the risks of unnecessary harm to patients especially those who are young or come from vulnerable backgrounds? To address these concerns, I propose an integrated EUSTICE framework ( Figure 1 ), underpinning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) [ 39 ] and distributive-justice-[ 40 , 41 , 42 ] informed approaches towards handling and reporting IFs in neuroscience or brain imaging research so that IFs are managed proportionally and sensitively in a way that is not resource-demanding or cost-inhibitive to pursue and conduct brain imaging research [ 43 ]. Notably, the EUSTICE framework is rooted in the Rawlsian theory of distributive justice.…”

The handling of incidental findings (IFs) in brain imaging studies has been a source of contention among scientists and bioethicists. A conceptual framework informed by diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and distributive justice approaches, namely EUSTICE, is proposed for the ethical handling and reporting of IFs in brain imaging research. I argue that EUSTICE provides a systematic and inclusive approach to addressing the ethical conundrum around IF disclosure and managing IFs proportionately and sensitively in brain imaging research. The EUSTICE framework may have implications for the field of neurosciences or human studies broadly in guiding ethics of IFs in research.

“…These values can dictate the commitments, assumptions, and consequences of research in both neuroscience and neuroethics (Salles et al, 2019). Reflexivity allows a selfexploration of biases (Matshabane, 2021) and presents an opportunity for publics to engage in reflective practice together in a way that sheds light on respective ideological commitments and assumptions while recognizing where they converge and diverge. 4.…”

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.

“…Other options that have been suggested would be advocating for more international funding for collaborative neuroethics studies and projects led by researchers from underrepresented contexts and for increased participation and leadership roles in international neuroethics working groups, conferences, organisations, and programmes by researchers from these contexts (Matshabane, 2021). Bioethicists interested in developing more of a neuroethics presence in Africa should also put efforts into driving their own collaborations and developing their own positions within the field, from an African perspective.…”

“…The reasons for this underrepresentation aside, it has been argued that the field of neuroethics suffers from a lack of global diversity (Buller, 2020;Matshabane, 2021) and that a "more inclusive … 'cross cultural', 'global' or 'international' neuroethics is needed" (Lanzilao et al, 2013;Salles, Herrera-Ferra & Cabeta, 2018). However, it is not self-evident what would constitute a more globally inclusive and diverse neuroethics, or what would suffice as having made inroads in this regard (Lanzilao et al, 2013;Salles et al, 2018).…”
