Toward a Brain Data Governance Framework

The researchers propose a multi-level brain data governance framework to address the ethical and governance challenges posed by the increasing availability of brain data within and beyond biomedicine and by the use of AI for brain data analysis. The framework aims to maximize the scientific and medical benefits of brain data collection and further processing while minimizing risks and preventing harmful use. The framework consists of four main areas of regulatory intervention: binding regulation, ethics and soft law, responsible innovation, and human rights.
