Currently, seven active or in-development national-level brain research initiatives exist, spanning four continents. Engaging with the underlying values and ethical concerns that drive brain research across cultural and continental divides is critical to future research. Culture influences what kinds of science are supported and where science can be conducted through ethical frameworks and evaluations of risk. Neuroscientists and philosophers alike have found themselves together encountering perennial questions; these questions are engaged by the field of neuroethics, related to understanding of the nature of the self and identity, the existence and meaning of free will, defining the role of reason in human behavior, and more. With this Perspective article, we aim to prioritize and advance to the foreground a list of neuroethics questions for neuroscientists operating in the context of these international brain initiatives.

Salles A. Farisco M. Theoretical framing of neuroethics: the need for a conceptual approach.in: Debates About Neuroethics. Springer, 2017: 89-107Crossref Google Scholar). The expansive implications of neuroscience in defining humanity have contributed to the status of neuroscience as a national-level funding priority across the globe. Neuroethics complements the discipline of neuroscience by providing a robust set of tools for informing the design and conduct of biomedical research as well as analyzing how neuroscience findings impact society and may transform social institutions. Neuroethics can be understood as a mutually informing collaborator that can advance the field of neuroscience by anticipating the near-term to far-reaching—often unexpected–implications of new technologies, findings about the brain that result from examining the brain, and the implementation of these technologies. To the neuroscience community, neuroethics provides a critical lens for reimagining, framing, and often focusing the questions and potential impact of specific research projects (Box 1).Box 1Scholarly Traditions for Analyzing the Social and Ethical Implications of NeuroscienceOver the past few years, a number of approaches have focused on the social and ethical implications raised by neuroscientific research (Eric and Matthew, 2017Eric R. Matthew S. The competing identities of neuroethics.The Routledge Handbook of Neuroethics. Routledge, 2017Google Scholar). One approach, critical neuroscience, calls for a more reflective neuroscientific practice that calls largely upon the social sciences to examine the potential and limitations of the questions and methodologies of neuroscience (Choudhury et al., 2009Choudhury S. Nagel S.K. Slaby J. Critical neuroscience: linking neuroscience and society through critical practice.Biosocieties. 2009; 4: 61-77Crossref Scopus (147) Google Scholar). A second approach is neuroethics that attempts to complement the discipline of neuroscience by providing a robust set of ethical and philosophical tools for analyzing how research is designed and conducted as well as how neuroscience findings impact individuals and the societies they live in. Thus, neuroethics can be understood as a mutually informing collaborator that advances the field of neuroscience by identifying, critically addressing, and illustrating the near-term to far-reaching—often unexpected—implications of the new technologies, findings about the brain that result from examining the brain, and the implementation of new technologies (Salles and Evers, 2017Salles A. Evers K. Social neuroscience and neuroethics: a fruitful synergy.in: Ibáñez A. Sedeño L. García A.M. Neuroscience and Social Science: The Missing Link. Springer International Publishing, Cham2017: 531-546Crossref Scopus (7) Google Scholar).This relatively new field of neuroethics, focused on neuroscience and its design, methods, conduct, and the impact of its products on society, has sometimes been accused of not offering much from a critical perspective and of overstating the positive impact of neuroscientific findings (Brosnan, 2011Brosnan C. The sociology of neuroethics: expectational discourses and the rise of a new discipline.Sociol. Compass. 2011; 5: 287-297Crossref Scopus (18) Google Scholar, De Vries, 2005De Vries R.

Pragmatic Neuroethics: Improving Treatment and Understanding of the Mind-Brain. MIT Press, 2010Google Scholar). At its best, far from being an uncritical advocate of neuroscience, neuroethics can remain constructively critically aware, providing a lens for reimagining the questions and potential impact of specific research projects.Still, such critique has prompted some neuroethics scholars to argue for a “fundamental neuroethics,” a term employed by the philosophy research group of the HBP, which aims to delve into deep conceptual philosophy, to explore how scientific inquiry can be used to address a number of fundamental philosophical questions (Evers et al., 2017Evers K. Salles A. Farisco M. Theoretical framing of neuroethics: the need for a conceptual approach.in: Debates About Neuroethics. Springer, 2017: 89-107Crossref Google Scholar) and how such questions might be explored in the context of responsible research innovation (RRI) (Salles et al., 2018Salles A. Evers K. Farisco M. Neuroethics and philosophy in responsible research and innovation: the case of the human brain project.Neuroethics. 2018; https://doi.org/10.1007/s12152-018-9372-9Crossref Scopus (12) Google Scholar). RRI is a normative framework that has dominated EU policy and governance that generally encourages stakeholder involvement to collectively discuss how best to advance societal goals through technology innovation. For additional explanation of normative frameworks on evaluating neurotechnology and society, including RRI, please see section 5, p. 27 of the 2017 OECD report (OECD, 2017OECDNeurotechnology and society.in: OECD: Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Papers.

Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2017Google Scholar). Thus, the priority of making neuroethics an integral part of the neuroscientific enterprise has moved beyond the academy and has registered at the highest levels of governments (Table 1). For example, the European Union’s Human Brain Project (HBP) from its inception has had structural and financial resources dedicated to projects on the attendant philosophical and ethical issues of neuroscience research (Amunts et al., 2016Amunts K. Ebell C. Muller J. Telefont M. Knoll A. Lippert T. The Human Brain Project: creating a European research infrastructure to decode the human brain.Neuron. 2016; 92: 574-581Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (162) Google Scholar, Evers, 2016Evers K. The contribution of neuroethics to international brain initiatives.Nat. Rev. Neurosci. 2016; 18: 1-2Crossref Scopus (11) Google Scholar). The Ethics and Society subproject of the HBP research core publishes opinions about relevant HBP-related ethical issues and one of the research groups under this subproject is dedicated to neuroethical and philosophical questions (https://www.humanbrainproject.eu/en/social-ethical-reflective/neuroethics-and-philosophy/). The HBP also has an Ethics Rapporteur system wherein researchers from each of the twelve research subprojects routinely discuss ethical issues with the HBP Ethics Advisory Board and with Ethics Support. The Australian Brain Alliance (Richards and Committee, 2016Richards L.J. Committee A.B.A.S. Australian Brain Alliance Steering Committee. Electronic address: [email protected]; Australian Brain Alliance Steering CommitteeAustralian Brain Alliance.Neuron. 2016; 92: 597-600Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (17) Google Scholar), Canadian Brain Research Strategy, and Korea Brain Initiative (J. Illes and S.-J.J., personal communication) have incorporated neuroethics and neuroethicists into the design of their emerging and recently launched national brain research programs. In China, scientists are working with the Chinese government to incorporate a neuroethics committee into the China Brain Project. The United States Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative (https://braininitiative.nih.gov/index.htm), included tasking the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues with exploring the attendant ethical issues of neuroscience research writ large. Recognizing that the rapid pace of technology often supersedes the ways scientists and engineers understand the social implications of their work (Check, 2007Check E. Cloning special: Dolly: a hard act to follow.Nature. 2007; 445: 802Crossref PubMed Scopus (5) Google Scholar, Heffernan, 2010Heffernan O. ‘Climategate’ scientist speaks out.Nature. 2010; 463: 860Crossref PubMed Scopus (4) Google Scholar), the team created two reports emphasizing that neuroethics should be a requisite part of all neuroscience research (PCSBI, 2014PCSBIIntegrated approaches for neuroscience, ethics, and society.Gray Matters. Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, 2014Google Scholar, PCSBI, 2015PCSBITopics at the intersection of neuroscience, ethics, and society.Gray Matters. Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, 2015Google Scholar) and an integral part of training the next generation of neuroscientists. These reports shaped the implementation of the BRAIN Initiative neuroethics program, including offering large-scale grants for neuroethics research (https://www.braininitiative.nih.gov/about/neuroethics.htm). The BRAIN Initiative has established a Neuroethics Working Group and has program officers managing a neuroethics grant portfolio. A recently formed BRAIN Working Group of the Advisory Committee to the NIH Director, tasked with evaluating the blueprint for BRAIN (BRAIN 2025: https://www.braininitiative.nih.gov/2025/), also has included a Neuroethics Subgroup to develop a Neuroethics Roadmap for the Initiative. Good neuroethical practice should also lead to engaging with the underlying values and ethical concerns that drive brain research across cultures and continents. Ultimately, cultural values influence not only how science is done, but also how the science might be adopted and integrated in societal practice. The consequences of cultural misunderstandings are far from trivial for the scientific enterprise. Gaps in understanding lead to missed opportunities for collaboration and advancement toward future discoveries, limit the ability to broadly share results and thereby reap the benefits of neuroscience findings, and ultimately result in a failure to recognize the short- and long-term potential and risks of neuroscience research. These cultural differences exist between national entities, within defined societies, and also among individual researchers and practitioners. And yet in the 15-year history of the field of neuroethics, there has been little work engaging cultural perspectives, and when different cultural perspectives are presented, they are done so in isolation without comparison and analysis across cultures. Culturally informed and aware neuroethical inquiry, understood as a process of intentional perspective-taking, can be useful in generating novel questions and thereby driving more fruitful and ethical global science. However, particular care is needed in assessing cultural perspectives as one risks reinforcing ill-informed stereotypes rather than thoughtful engagement. Our emphasis on perspective-taking here encourages reflection and inquiry of the values and philosophical traditions within and across national settings. Beyond a cursory mention in reports and guidelines by independent groups (Goldschmidt and Renn, 2006Goldschmidt R. Renn O. Meeting of Minds – European Citizens’ Deliberation on Brain Sciences: Final Report of the External Evaluation. Universitat Stuttgart, 2006Google Scholar, Yuste et al., 2017Yuste R. Goering S. Arcas B.A.Y. Bi G. Carmena J.M. Carter A. Fins J.J. Friesen P. Gallant J. Huggins J.E. et al.Four ethical priorities for neurotechnologies and AI.Nature. 2017; 551: 159-163Crossref PubMed Scopus (146) Google Scholar), no national project has explicitly discussed cultural perspectives when engaging these neuroethics and neuroscience questions. Furthermore, no report has addressed what engaging neuroscience with a cross-cultural lens might look like, although recent reports from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) make special note of the need for cross-cultural evaluations in technology development (Garden and Winickoff, 2018Garden, H., and Winickoff, D. (2018). Issues in neurotechnology governance. https://doi.org/10.1787/c3256cc6-en.Google Scholar, OECD, 2017OECDNeurotechnology and society.in: OECD: Science, Technology and Innovation Policy Papers. Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2017Google Scholar). A culturally informed analysis is urgently needed given the global collaborative nature of neuroscience research and the recent commitment to the formation of the International Brain Initiative, a collaborative entity comprised of all existing national-level brain projects (https://www.brainalliance.org.au/learn/media-releases/worlds-brain-ini" @default.
