An increasing number of studies are being conducted on brain implants with the intention of treating medical conditions that resist treatment or restoring physiological function. At the conclusion of such studies, management of the implanted device raises concerns. One choice is preceded with admittance to gadget usefulness and support for people who benefit from the intercession. What if, on the other hand, participants do not gain anything from an experimental brain implant? In most cases, there are two choices: leave the gadget embedded however idle or eliminate the gadget. In this study, we investigate the question of whether researchers studying brain implants are obligated to offer and pay for the device's removal.
