Recent technological advances in electronic miniaturization, brain signal detection, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for data analysis pave the way to a better understanding of neurological and mental health disorders. Anticipated developments offer potential for health, communication, mood regulation, and memory enhancements. This outlook has generated huge financial investments from the public and private sectors, bringing the technologies to patients and consumers more quickly. Other applications, outside the medical field, are developing rapidly for neuromarketing, gaming and entertainment, and military purposes. With the scientific and technological landscapes rapidly accelerating, a global and inclusive approach enabling their development remains a challenge.
Why is this a topic policy makers should be interested in?
What are the challenges they face preventing them to take action?
Join this session to learn more about the proposal currently developed within GESDA’s Pipeline of Solution Ideas to engineer a convening space that will give governments and other stakeholders information, analysis, and tools to help them best support research in neuroscience and neurotechnology and their applications in society.
