Title: A Cross-Contextual Approach to Neurotechnologies

Abstract: Neurotechnologies come in a wide variety of forms in order to assist and treat a wide variety of conditions鈥攁s neuroprostheses for amputees to fully-implanted systems for managing psychiatric conditions. These neurotechnologies are developed and used in complex, entertwined interpersonal and sociopolitical contexts. The complexity of neurotechnologies and the social contexts they impact make it difficult to track and understand the moral issues arising from their intersection. In this presentation, Dr. Brown will propose a 鈥渃ross-contextual鈥� framework for understanding the unique ethical challenges of neurotechnologies. This framework uses socio-ecological lens to understand how different aspects of neurotechnologies create challenges across overlapping, global, sociopolitical contexts. He will then use this framework to consider difficult, near-future neuroethical problems鈥攍ike how big data analytics and artificial intelligence will impact neurotech users, their communities, and care providers.
