Ethics & Safety Framework
Ethical transparency is fundamental to our scientific responsibility.
Current Phase
Brain Backend Platform is developing frameworks for backend observation through internal methodology development. We are not recruiting external participants, conducting clinical studies, or collecting data from outside subjects.
Our current activities focus on:
- Theoretical framework development
- Observation protocol design and documentation
- Ethics framework preparation for future formal studies
Future Research Standards
If our methods become ready for independent validation, we will ensure full compliance with established research ethics standards.
Research Ethics Compliance
- Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval will be obtained before any formal human subjects research begins
- Full compliance with local and international ethics regulations
- Transparent documentation and oversight throughout
Informed Consent
- Clear explanation of observation procedures
- Voluntary participation with freedom to withdraw
- No coercion or pressure
Privacy Protection
- Minimal data collection
- Secure storage and defined retention policies
- No hidden tracking or monitoring
Core Ethical Principles
Our framework development is guided by:
- Respect for persons and autonomy
- Beneficence and non-maleficence
- Justice and equitable treatment
- Transparency and accountability
Privacy by Design
Our approach prioritizes privacy at the foundational level. As we develop observation methods, we are ensuring they will minimize data collection, avoid permanent storage, and protect participant autonomy.
Privacy is not an afterthought: it is being integrated into every stage of development.
