Abstract

There is real interest in neurotechnology data rights right now, and real uncertainty about exactly where it delivers the most
value. We pull together the current evidence for neurotechnology data rights, covering the methodological, practical, regulatory
and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely settled and where researchers and reviewers are still largely
working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific pursuit looks better supported by the evidence gathered here than either
broad rollout or blanket avoidance.
