Neurotechnological Advances, Human Rights and the Elderly

Neurotechnology encompasses an array of devices and techniques concerning the central nervous system. Increasingly, these tools are developed for neurological conditions related to ageing. While an aging population can certainly benefit from these technological advances, it is the elderly who are also at a risk of being exploited or even coerced into relying on them. The opportunity to weigh the risks and benefits of this technology is therefore of crucial importance.

This conference explores the need for, and challenges associated with, the development of a legal framework concerned with neurotechnology and the elderly. A variety of different perspectives must be borne in mind when addressing this topic, and three round tables will therefore address the challenges specific to each perspective. A first roundtable will discuss the issue of interdisciplinarity as an inherent challenge in the regulation of medicine as well as new technologies. A second-round table will, from an international law perspective, discuss the different emerging issues, and the third-round table will approach the topic from a comparative angle.
