Neural Regulation

Neural Regulation

Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

Ethics in Research

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Area of Science:

Neurotechnology
Bioethics
Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

Neurotechnologies are increasingly integrated into daily life, raising ethical and societal concerns.
Ensuring end-user involvement in neurotechnology development is crucial for addressing these implications.
Existing frameworks like Public and Patient Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) offer methods for user integration.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide clear guidelines for implementing a robust end-user involvement process in neurotechnology development, emphasizing patient engagement.
To guide researchers and developers in establishing effective Public and Patient Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) strategies.
To promote the integration of patient and public insights throughout the neurotechnology lifecycle.

Main Methods:

Utilizing the Public and Patient Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) framework.
Developing a general strategy for setting up PPIE processes.
Providing tools for stakeholder mapping, considering user diversity, and quantifying engagement outcomes.
Consolidating advice from online sources for teams and funders.

Main Results:

A structured approach to implementing PPIE in neurotechnology.
A stakeholder mapping tool.
Methods for measuring the impact of engagement.
A checklist for transparent reporting of PPIE activities.

Conclusions:

Involving end-users early in neurotechnology development aids in navigating ethical, social, and usability challenges.
This approach leads to the creation of more impactful and user-centered neurotechnologies.
The establishment of gold-standard methodologies will place patient and public insights at the forefront of scientific inquiry and product development.
