The Foundation seeks to empower human development and wellbeing through the ethical and (cyber)secure sharing, collaboration, and research of neurodata. We believe that: ● A trusted global standard in the ethical handling of neurodata and personal data through associated technologies is needed; ● A publicly backed mandate for integrity strengthens the legitimacy of organizations working on behalf of a better global future; ● The needs and priorities of global society are met by engaging stakeholders in an open discourse around the potential impact and future of neurotechnologies; and ● Each individual has the right to the ownership and control of their personal neurodata and that no person or entity has the right to alter another’s data or behaviors without explicit permission.
