“…Although brain modeling and digital twin technology promise several theoretical and clinical benefits, challenges emerge at the practical and conceptual levels, for example, regarding access, consent, reliability (Braun, 2021;Mittelstadt, 2021;Nyholm, 2021); the conceptualization of brain models and digital twins (i.e., whether it makes sense to describe a model of a brain as a "twin") and, insofar as computational models and DTs are expected to perform diagnostics and optimizations, how DTs can represent patients (Evers and Salles, 2021). The needed neuroethical reflection on those issues should not need to be limited to neuroethicists and scientists: it can be enriched when informed by meaningful bidirectional dialogue with diverse stakeholders, industry, policy makers, patients, citizens to ensure diverse inputs.…”

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.

“…However, before addressing such challenges, the current constraints in our knowledge and know-how must be pondered. Besides the technical limitations in twinning (first of all, the computational burden of emulating neural processes in ecologically valid settings, without considering the connectivity issues to approach the real-time standards), we must also highlight how both DTs and PDTs raise ethical issues on privacy and consent in data representation and storage, and on concepts like “normality” and enhancement (Bruynseels et al, 2018 ; Braun, 2021 ; Nyholm, 2021 ). These issues should be discussed within the frame of the enablers and the barriers to twinning adoption (Perno et al, 2020 ), even pondering the opportunities offered by novel technological frameworks (Yi et al, 2022 ).…”
