Analysing the Terrorist Brain: Neurobiological Advances, Ethical Concerns and Social Implications
Published in Alex Stedmon, Glyn Lawson, Hostile Intent and Counter-Terrorism, 2017
This chapter draws on a wider research project devoted to a much-neglected analysis on the ‘dual-use dilemma’ in neuroscience carried out at the Bradford Disarmament Research Centre (BDRC) at the University of Bradford, UK (Dando, 2010; Dando and Bartolucci, 2013). Such a work is embedded in a wider debate that has been formalised in a new discipline – neuroethics – that frames its efforts ‘in terms of four “pillars”: brain science and the self, brain science and social policy, ethics and the practice of brain science, and brain science and public discourse’ (Lombera and Illes, 2009, p. 60).

The neuroethics subcommittee of the IEEE Brain Initiative focuses on the ethical and societal issues related to research and development of neurotechnologies. They developed the IEEE Neuroethics Framework (https://brain.ieee.org/publications/ieee-neuroethics-framework/), a collective effort to evaluate the ethical, legal, social, and cultural issues that arise with the deployment of neurotechnologies and provide explicit guidance on how to address them. The framework is organized as a matrix that covers existing and emerging neurotechnologies for both current and foreseen applications. This framework is conceived as a living document that will evolve with the technology. Participation in this effort is open to interested participants.
Neuroethics and the NIH BRAIN Initiative

As research efforts like the BRAIN Initiative accelerate and advance our understanding of the brain, the things we learn can raise deep questions about human identity, agency, and function, with potential points of conflict around commonly held societal and personal values. For example, causally linking biological processes with mental states and functions may not easily square with widely held notions of personal identity and volition or notions of free will. Neuroethics, a multidisciplinary field that provides critical tools and evaluative frameworks to grapple with these issues, has emerged as a key partner for neuroscience as we channel newfound knowledge to understand and intervene on human brain function.
