Workshop_in_brief
Advancements in life sciences, physical sciences, and engineering have the potential to solve many pressing technical, medical, social, and environmental challenges. In recent years, rapid advances in the field of neuroscience and neurotechnology have led to unprecedented insights into the inner workings of the brain and potential cutting-edge therapeutics and technologies to improve human health. As this research and innovation moves forward in countries around the world, including in Southeast Asia, questions about ethics, safety, and security have also emerged as researchers, policymakers, and the public consider the potential for neuroscience data or technologies to be misused to cause harm or exploited in ways that exacerbate societal issues.
To foster exchange with scientists in Southeast Asia about opportunities to maximize the benefits of emerging neuroscience research and neurotechnologies while minimizing the risks, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine hosted a workshop series entitled Engaging Scientists in Shared Responsible Innovation in Neuroscience in Southeast Asia. The workshops brought together scientists, researchers, and other experts in academia, industry, and government from the United States, Southeast Asia, and other regions for a series of virtual presentations and discussions on February 20-21 and April 10, 2024. Participants shared examples of current research developments and applications in neuroscience, examined potential benefits and harms of emerging areas of science and technology, and discussed principles and practices for responsible innovation and advancing shared norms, ethics, safety, and security in different national, cultural, and institutional contexts. This Proceedings of a Workshop-in Brief was prepared by rapporteurs as a high-level summary of what occurred at the workshop.
