Neurotechnologies such as brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), which
allow technical devices to be used with the power of thought or
concentration alone, are no longer a futuristic dream or, depending
on the viewpoint, a nightmare. Moreover, the combination of
neurotechnologies and AI raises a host of pressing problems. Now
that these technologies are about to leave the laboratory and enter
the real world, these problems and implications can and should be
scrutinized. This volume brings together scholars from a wide range
of academic disciplines such as philosophy, law, the social
sciences and neurosciences, and is unique in terms of both its
focus and its methods. The latter vary considerably, and range from
philosophical analysis and phenomenologically inspired descriptions
to legal analysis and socio-empirical research. This diversified
approach allows the book to explore the entire spectrum of
philosophical, normative, legal and empirical dimensions of
intelligent neurotechnologies. Philosophical and legal analyses of
normative problems are complemented by a thorough empirical
assessment of how BCIs and other forms of neurotechnology are being
implemented, and what their measurable implications are. To take a
closer look at specific neurotechnologies, a number of applications
are addressed. Case studies, previously unidentified issues, and
normative insights on these cases complement the rich portrait this
volume provides. Clinicians, philosophers, lawyers, social
scientists and engineers will greatly benefit from the collection
of articles compiled in this book, which will likely become a
standard reference work on the philosophy of intelligent
neurotechnologies.
