Publisher's Synopsis
Neurological rights or neuro-rights are atypical rights. Their legal framework is experiencing increasing development internationally and in national laws. These rights are a primordial necessity in order to channel the development of neurotechnologies. They are instruments serving not only the international community, States, individuals; but also, a guarantee of respect and protection of the brain; neurons, and mental integrity. Beyond legal regulation, they are the projection on international and national scales of scientific research which reconciles ethics, precaution and innovation. By presenting the different aspects of the legal framework of neurological rights, Sabine Ndzengue Amoa shows that they are not perfect and sheds light on their most current evolution in the light of the development of neurotechnological research.
