ABSTRACT
The development of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) has paved the way for groundbreaking advances in health, neural prosthetics, and communications. However, the intersection of neuroscience and law, known as Neuro-Law, has become more relevant this is because these technologies raise profound ethical and legal issues. This article explores BCI's ethical implications and legal challenges, including privacy concerns. Mental independence, liability, and possible misuse. We also examine the need for a regulatory framework that balances innovation with the protection of individual rights. This analysis contributes to the ongoing debate about how societies can BCI be responsibly integrated into the legal system.
Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) represent cutting-edge technology with enormous potential to transform the fields of medicine, communication, and cognition. However, this innovation poses important ethical, legal, and social challenges. This article it explores the intersection of neuroscience and law - known as Neuro-Law - and addresses key concerns related to privacy. Freedom of perception responsibility and informed consent, as BCI blurs the lines between human and machine perception. Legal frameworks must therefore evolve to guarantee their ethical use. And at the same time protect human rights.
