Scope of Advisory

José M. Muñoz's advisory work focuses on structural governance questions rather than compliance-only approaches. It addresses how neurotechnologies reshape ethical frameworks, legal categories, institutional power, and public trust.

Areas of engagement include:

• Neurotechnology governance and regulatory design

• Legislative drafting and policy development

• Brain data protection frameworks

• Institutional risk assessment and safeguards

• International coordination and standards alignment

Institutional Experience

• Acted as amicus curiae in the first judicial ruling worldwide granting legal protection to a consumer’s brain data (Supreme Court of Chile), as documented in Nature Biotechnology.

• Member of the multidisciplinary expert group involved in drafting Mexico’s General Law on Neurorights and Neurotechnologies, later discussed in The Lancet Psychiatry.

• Advisory and speaking engagements with the United Nations, INTERPOL, the Organization of American States, the Government of Spain, and parliamentary and human rights institutions across multiple jurisdictions.

Muñoz has contributed to high-level institutional debates shaping the regulatory and governance landscape of emerging neurotechnologies in Europe, Latin America, and Australia.

Advisory Modalities

Advisory engagements are structured according to the institutional context and strategic scope of each mandate.

They may take the form of:

• Institutional and public-interest advisory (including pro bono contributions to governmental or multilateral initiatives)

• Strategic advisory mandates for private sector actors operating in neurotechnology and related fields

• Long-term governance retainers focused on regulatory architecture, risk anticipation, and institutional design

Engagements are typically oriented toward structural governance questions rather than transactional compliance support.
