The Imperative of Neuro-Law Education
The convergence of law, neuroscience, and emerging technologies has created unprecedented questions concerning human rights, liability, ethics, and governance. Neurotechnology—which encompasses devices such as brain-computer interfaces, neuro-prosthetics, cognitive monitoring devices, and neuromodulation—allows for direct interaction between neural systems and machines. While these innovations offer promise for healthcare, defense, and learning, they simultaneously challenge traditional legal frameworks in critical areas like privacy, culpability, informed consent, and mental autonomy.
As an emerging global hub for forensic and legal education, NFSU aims to cultivate a new generation of professionals capable of understanding and regulating these powerful technologies. This 7-day online course will pioneer Neuro-Law education in India, bridging the gap between scientific innovation and legal governance.
