Making the case for sandboxes in implantable neurotechnologies

Regulatory sandboxes could be fruitfully used to boost Invasive Brain-Computer Interfaces, but they should be carefully designed. We highlight five elements are essential: they concern the entry criteria, the participated, adaptive and supervised design of decision-making process, and long-term risk management. Regulatory sandboxes could be fruitfully used to boost Invasive Brain-Computer Interfaces, but they should be carefully designed. The authors highlight and discuss five key elements.
