P7700-Recommended Practice for the Responsible Design and Development of Neurotechnologies
P7700-Recommended Practice for the Responsible Design and Development of Neurotechnologies 150 150 ieeeethicswk

This recommended practice establishes a uniform set of definitions and a methodology to assess the ethical and socio-technical considerations and practices regarding the design, development, and use of neurotechnologies.

Prospective volunteers are invited to express interest in the project.

Applying the IEEE BRAIN neuroethics framework to intra-cortical brain-computer interfaces
Applying the IEEE BRAIN neuroethics framework to intra-cortical brain-computer interfaces 150 150 ieeeethicswk

Published in the Journal of Neural Engineering. Here, we present the IEEE Neuroethics Framework, an international, multiyear, iterative initiative aimed at developing a robust, accessible set of considerations for diverse stakeholders. Using the framework, we provide practical examples of ELSCI considerations for BCI neurotechnologies. We demonstrate the utility of our framework in exposing a wide range of implications across different iBCI modalities and conclude with recommendations.

Reexamining the ethical, legal, social, and cultural implications for cochlear implants through a novel neuroethics framework
Reexamining the ethical, legal, social, and cultural implications for cochlear implants through a novel neuroethics framework 150 150 ieeeethicswk

A paper from the ISTAS22 conference.Here, as part of the IEEE Brain Neuroethics Initiative, we present a framework to analyze issues that might arise when designing and using a wide range of medical neurotechnologies. To illustrate the utility of our framework, we apply it to one of the most established medical neurotechnologies to date, cochlear implants. We highlight a range of ethical implications on safety, wellbeing, and agency, among other factors, as well as potential legal, societal and cultural considerations.

ETHICS-2025 Session A4 – Workshop: IEEE Neuroethics Framework World Café
ETHICS-2025 Session A4 – Workshop: IEEE Neuroethics Framework World Café 150 150 ieeeethicswk

The IEEE Neuroethics Framework is an international, multi-year, volunteer-led initiative by IEEE BRAIN designed to provide ethical guidance for engineers, researchers, applied scientists, practitioners, and neurotechnology companies. This workshop provides an avenue to solicit new perspectives for three applications: Work, Entertainment, and Sports. It uses a “World Café” style method that the IEEE Neuroethics Framework team has employed previously to generate novel insights.

Examining funders’ roles in responsible research and innovation of medical neurotechnology
Examining funders’ roles in responsible research and innovation of medical neurotechnology 150 150 ieeeethicswk

Published in the Journal of Responsible Innovation by members of IEEE Neuroethics Framework. Funding by public agencies, foundations, and private investors plays a fundamental role in in driving medical neurotechnology development. research and development (R&D). We propose a multiphase design and development process involving discrete institutional norms and organizational practices and explore how this process can enhance the funder role to address ethical challenges.

Recent Advances in the Assessment and Certification of AI Ethics
Recent Advances in the Assessment and Certification of AI Ethics 834 594 ieeeethicswk

Prof Ali Hessami presents “Recent Advances in the Assessment and Certification of AI Ethics”. This presentation shared insights into the latest advances on technology ethics and two IEEE initiatives namely IEEE 7000 standard and the Ethics Certification Programme for Autonomous and Intelligent Systems (ECPAIS). These provide a basis for raising awareness and providing a systematic framework for the innovators, researchers and technologists as well as small and large enterprises involved in AI.
