Neurotechnology is the field of devices and procedures used to access, monitor,

investigate, assess, and manipulate the structure and function of the neurological systems of
animals or human beings. This technology has the potential to increase human performance,
improve learning and memory, and provide treatments for neurological and mental illnesses.
However, there are ethical dilemmas about modifying the human brain, aggravating existing
inequalities, and dehumanizing medicine and healthcare. The increasing ability to alter the brain,
and thus the mind, in an invasive and pervasive manner necessitates unprecedented questions.
The right to cognitive liberty can be threatened through neurotechnology, which can
directly access, manipulate, and emulate the structure of the brain, which is central to notions of
human identity, freedom of thought, autonomy, mental privacy, well-being, and mind
modification.
