Recenzje

'This important book, by one of the leaders of the new generation of neurolaw scholars, effectively challenges complacent assumptions that existing European safeguards provide adequate protection to the threats to human rights arising from neurotechnologies. A 'must-read' for policymakers, legislators and all who care about human rights.' Paul Catley, Professor of Neurolaw and Honorary Associate, The Open University
