Abstract

Neuroethics is an essential partner to neuroscience. It is a guiding hand that indicates the moral and ethical flaws in neuroscience research. Currently, there is one outstanding problem that arises from the advancements in neuroscience research: the ethical aspect. There are flaws in the protection of individual rights to privacy during research projects and procedures. To combat these issues, it is imperative that there be an international framework that is developed to prevent the breach of privacy while still advancing our knowledge on this topic. After identifying what the overlapping goals are for countries on this topic, it is necessary to combine them and eventually create an international guideline. To achieve this goal, I will be collecting research papers that describe the work being done on neuroethics and how that has increased or decreased in the last five years. This data will be analyzed to identify the increase/decrease in knowledge and publications on this topic. There are many implications for any neurological implantation, and neuroethics is a path to help solve any issues that arise.
