The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) released a draft of the Recommendations on Ethics of Neurotechnology (henceforth, 'the Recommendations') in October 2024 [1]. It was accompanied by a preliminary report on the process leading to the draft Recommendations. The Recommendations define neurotechnology as "devices, systems and procedures - encompassing both hardware and software - that directly access, monitor, analyse, predict or modulate the nervous system to understand, influence, restore, or anticipate its structure, activity, function, or intentions (speech, motor)" [1].
