    <jats:p>El desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías que impactan la conducta de las personas, y en particular de la población pediátrica, plantea nuevos desafíos éticos y regulatorios. El parlamento chileno inició la discusión de proyectos de ley sobre neuroderechos que buscan proteger la integridad de las personas frente a nuevas situaciones planteadas por el desarrollo tecnológico. Las propuestas contienen elementos que deben ser abordados en forma transdisciplinaria, de manera de poder dar cuenta no solo de las amenazas futuras, sino también de las actuales, con una mirada desde la protección del desarrollo de los niños, niñas y adolescentes. </jats:p>
