International Neurolaw

Whereas the past few years have repeatedly been entitled as the era of biotechnology , most recently the impression emerges that at least the same degree of attention is being paid to the latest developments in the field of neurosciences. It is by now nearly impossible to oversee the number of research projects dealing with the functionality of the brain for instance concerning its organizational structure or projects dealing with the topics of legal responsibility, brain-computer-interface applications, neuromarketing, lie detection or mind reading. The above-mentioned procedures are connected to a number of legal questions, concerning the frame conditions of research projects as well as the right approach towards the generated findings. With regard to this utmost importance of the topic for latest developments, it is of special interest, to compare the different legal systems and strategies which they hold at hand for dealing with those legal implications. Therefore, the book International Neurolaw A comparative analysis contains several country reports from around the world, as well as reports of international organizations such as the UNESCO, in order to show the different legal approaches towards the topic and possible interactions respectively.
