Neurotechnologies, including brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), which enable the control of technical devices solely through the power of thought or concentration, have transitioned from mere futuristic aspirations to a reality that elicits diverse perspectives. The convergence of neurotechnologies and artificial intelligence (AI) has introduced a host of urgent concerns that warrant thorough examination. As these technologies embark on their journey from the laboratory to the real world, it is crucial to scrutinize these problems and their implications.

This comprehensive volume brings together scholars from diverse academic backgrounds, including philosophy, law, social sciences, and neurosciences. Its unique approach combines philosophical analysis, phenomenologically inspired descriptions, legal analysis, and socio-empirical research, enabling a comprehensive exploration of the philosophical, normative, legal, and empirical dimensions of intelligent neurotechnologies.

Philosophical and legal examinations of normative issues are complemented by a rigorous empirical assessment of the implementation and measurable implications of BCIs and other neurotechnologies. By examining specific neurotechnologies through case studies, previously unidentified issues, and normative insights, this volume offers a rich portrait of the field. Clinicians, philosophers, lawyers, social scientists, and engineers will greatly benefit from the comprehensive collection of articles compiled in this book, which is poised to become a seminal reference work on the philosophy of intelligent neurotechnologies.
