Accounting for Unintended Effects of Neuromodulation

 

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is well established as a treatment for movement disorders. In rare cases, stimulation results in impulse control disorders, which is addressed by adjusting the stimulation. However, in some cases, patients are reluctant to have stimulation modified.

 

This presentation addresses the conceptual, ethical, and legal challenges of consent for stimulation-induced behavioral changes in the context of stimulation-induced behavioural changes, particularly as both applications of DBS and DBS technology change. It considers how the ethical and legal challenges can be addressed both with technological innovation as well as legal innovation.

 

Please register to attend by October 8, 2023, using the registration button to the right or email jungesdenken@uni-bonn.de. The number of participants is limited to 25 people.

The workshop will be held in English.
