Neurotechnology and Direct Brain Communication focuses on recent
neuroscientific investigations of infant brains and of patients
with disorders of consciousness (DOC), both of which are at the
forefront of contemporary neuroscience. The prospective use of
neurotechnology to access mental states in these subjects,
including neuroimaging, brain simulation, and brain computer
interfaces, offers new opportunities for clinicians and
researchers, but has also received specific attention from
philosophical, scientific, ethical, and legal points of view. This
book offers the first systematic assessment of these issues,
investigating the tools neurotechnology offers to care for verbally
non-communicative subjects and suggesting a multidisciplinary
approach to the ethical and legal implications of ordinary and
experimental practices. The book is divided into three parts: the
first and second focus on the scientific and clinical implications
of neurological tools for DOC patient and infant care. With
reference to these developments, the third and final part presents
the case for re-evaluating classical ethical and legal concepts,
such as authority, informed consent, and privacy. Neurotechnology
and Direct Brain Communication will appeal to researchers and
postgraduate students in the fields of cognitive science, medical
ethics, medical technology, and the philosophy of the mind. With
implications for patient care, it will also be a useful resource
for clinicians, medical centres, and health practitioners.
