The rapid development of neurotechnologies is generating unprecedented volumes of neurodata, creating new opportunities for healthcare, research, well-being and innovation. At the same time, neurodata raises important questions regarding privacy, consent, ownership, security, accountability and public trust.
As neurotechnologies move from research settings into consumer, workplace, healthcare, and AI-enabled applications, policymakers are increasingly confronted with questions regarding the governance of neurodata.
This webinar launched the policy paper Neurodata Governance: Evidence from Innovators for Public Policy" which examines the opportunities and governance challenges arising from the growing use of neurodata in neurotechnologies.
Drawing on evidence from both the policy landscape and industry practice, the report identifies priorities for a human-centred and innovation-friendly approach to neurodata governance. The event showcased the paper's main findings and recommendations and invited experts discussed their relevance for future policy action.
