Is Neurotech Values Neutral?

Updated: 6 days ago

by Harry Lambert

This abstract painting, inspired by Renoir, beautifully captures the concept of neutrality with an optimistic flair. Swirling, harmonious shapes in golden, blue, and green tones blend natural and technological motifs, while neural circuit patterns subtly emerge, symbolizing balance and integration. The fluid brushstrokes evoke hope and coexistence, inviting personal interpretation and reflection.

As neurotechnology continues to evolve, incorporating advanced tools and methodologies to interface with the human brain, a critical question arises: Is neurotech values neutral, or are there hidden embedded values? The answer to this complex question lies not only in the technology itself but also in the values embedded within its design, application, and societal implications.


At its core, neurotechnology—ranging from brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to neurostimulation devices—aims to enhance human capabilities, treat neurological disorders, and even amplify cognitive functions. However, as we examine these innovations, it becomes evident that they do not exist in a vacuum. Rather, they are intertwined with cultural, ethical, and psychological dimensions that influence how they impact human life.
