Neurotechnology presents several ethical concerns, including changing behaviour patterns.
This means that the risk of unintended consequences is high.
Predicting the long-term effects of changing brain functions is difficult, especially in areas as complex as human behaviour.
As a result, risks of personality changes, addiction, or other harmful effects have great odds.
According to Scientific American, advances in neurotechnology require the evolution of neurorights to protect personal information.
This would also prevent epigenetic modifications (which are reversible but still affect your environment-specific behaviour).
This would also prevent epigenetic modifications (which are reversible but still affect your environment-specific behaviour).
Furthermore, neuropsychiatric complications, biohacking (as in the case of drugs which promise quick results), and other issues we are as yet unaware of will be prevented as well.
Considering these ethical issues of neurotechnology and carefully balancing the potential benefits with the risks and challenges is essential.
Taking a comprehensive approach involving regulation, ethical guidelines, interdisciplinary expertise, and accountability makes it possible to keep the risks of neurotechnology under control.
