Description of research activity:
Technologies for understanding the animal brain are very advanced and will soon begin to be applied to the human brain. These techniques will allow an individual's brain activity to be deciphered (reading), which will enable the identification of brain activity patterns that are, in principle, very simple, until the person's mental images can be visualised. This achievement will presumably be followed by the application of more sophisticated techniques that will allow human brain activity to be altered (writing). The scenario envisaged in the short and medium term will have important consequences in the political, social, economic and cultural spheres. Furthermore, it will have a transcendental impact on the values considered to be essential in our societies, in particular on freedom, equality and the person's dignity. All these impacts and consequences pose a new challenge for the laws put in place to regulate the application of these types of new technologies and safeguard the fundamental rights of individuals, especially their privacy, identity, freedom and equality. In order to face the new legal challenge posed by the advances that will be made in the neuroscientific field,...Technologies for understanding the animal brain are very advanced and will soon begin to be applied to the human brain.

In order to face the new legal challenge posed by the advances that will be made in the neuroscientific field, doctoral academics from different legal disciplines who are interested in these novelties and are part of the University of Valencia have formed this research group under the name of Neuroderecho. Our main aim is to examine the problem ahead and try to provide an answer based on the foundations of each of our scientific disciplines. However, restricting this purpose to legal disciplines alone is very limited, taking into account the impacts and repercussions expected in the future. For this reason, we have included doctoral academics from various disciplines of the University of Valencia who are concerned by this problem in this initiative. With this we aim to enrich our research and proposals with multidisciplinary approaches and perspectives that contribute to enhancing research and reflection, which will thus improve results.
