Throughout many parts of the world, biomedical research ethics is based on a core body well-established norms, rules, and principles, including Declaration Helsinki, Nuremberg Code, Belmont Report, International Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical Research Involving Human Subjects (1). The overarching goal these codifications to protect people against harms arising from research, researchers experimenting them without their knowledge permission. More recently, because increasing...
The EU-funded Human Brain Project (HBP) aimed to deliver advances in brain science, cognitive neuroscience and brain-inspired computing which would have broad-ranging implications benefit European citizens. Achieving such outcomes is dependent, part, upon the ability of large scale research projects anticipate potential needs concerns user communities as well other stakeholders society general integrate these into their programme. While responsibility address them belongs all those directing...
This paper addresses the question of managing existential risk potential general Artificial Intelligence (AI), as well more near-term yet hazardous and disruptive implications specialised AI, from perspective a particular research project that could make significant contribution to development (AI): Human Brain Project (HBP), ten-year Future Emerging Technologies Flagship European Commission. The HBP aims create digital infrastructure for brain science, cognitive neuroscience, brain-inspired...
With the emergence of generative AI, and its disruption within education, debates have been preoccupied with technocentric problems deployment issues. This focus often overshadows broader questions about crafting a responsible educational vision in an AI-dominated world. While AI may offer transformative potential for it also comes challenges, from biases to facilitating academic dishonesty. However, focusing solely on these challenges diverts attention deeper reflections wider implications...
Abstract The interdisciplinary field of neurorobotics looks to neuroscience overcome the limitations modern robotics technology, advance our understanding neural system’s inner workings, and information technology develop tools that support those complementary endeavours. development these technologies is still at an early stage, which makes them ideal candidate for proactive anticipatory ethical reflection. This article explains current state within Human Brain Project, originating from a...
Computational brain models use machine learning, algorithms and statistical to harness big data for delivering disease-specific diagnosis or prognosis individuals. While intended support clinical decision-making, their translation into practice remains challenging despite efforts improve implementation through training clinicians staff in benefits. Drawing on the specific case of neurology, we argue that existing are insufficient responsible computational models. Our research based a...
The essay is an empirical case study of famed British scientist Francis Crick. Viewing him as a 'cross-worlds influencer' who was moreover dedicated to cause, I have tried understand how these two characteristics influenced the trajectory his long career and they shaped contributions diverse research fields in which he active, concluded that reconfigure Crick's into coherent whole. First, identify major thread running through career: helping organise 'un-disciplined' new fields, show...
Taking up the view that semi-institutional gatherings such as clubs, societies, research schools, have been instrumental in creating sheltered spaces from which many a 20th-century project-driven interdisciplinary programme could develop and become established within institutions of science, paper explores history one gathering its inception early 1980s into 2000s, Helmholtz Club, brought together scientists various fields neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, psychophysics, computer science...
There is broad agreement that one important aspect of responsible innovation (RI) to provide training on its principles and practices current future researchers innovators, notably including doctoral students. Much less can be observed concerning the question what this should consist of, how it delivered could assessed. The increasing institutional embedding RI leads calls for alignment with in other subjects. One therefore observe a push towards official assessment training, example recent...
This article draws on long-term engagement with the Human Brain Project (HBP), one of Future and Emerging Technology Flagship Initiatives funded by European Commission to address EU “grand challenges” understanding human brain applying these insights brain-inspired technology development. Based participant observation interviews researchers project administrators, our findings suggest that formal infrastructure built facilitate structure collaboration within large-scale interdisciplinary...
In this article, we report on a pilot study examining perceptions of dual use among neurotechnologists and neuroethicists. We carried out 10 semistructured interviews with participants from established universities in the United States, Kingdom, Australia about risks they saw new technology who has responsibility for safely developing it. used grounded theory approach to code develop themes data establish foundation analysis. Our findings showed that was not considered binary, but rather...
