Ethical and Social Challenges of Brain-Computer Interfaces

Brain-computer interface technology presents a number of ethical and social challenges for physicians.

Paul R. Wolpe, PhD

In cases like Matthew Nagel's (whose BrainGate device has since been removed), the computer that translates his brain waves into signals "learns"; it does increasingly well in understanding what Nagel is trying to do and translating it into action. But this computer is hard-wired into Nagel's brain. As it learns, its relation to Nagel's intentions changes. In other words, this extension of Nagel's brain is itself a developing intelligence of a sort, now integrated into Nagel's own brain processes.

we have been  developing the interfaces between computer and brain to a degree where the information flows in both directions; the brain sends out information to the computer, and it also receives impulses from the computer, which learns and develops.Research is being done on brain prosthetics. Theodore Berger and his colleagues at the University of Southern California have designed a brain chip that  over rides parts of the brain attributed to sight and sound perception." Psychopharmaceuticals are being developed now to try to control cognitive and affective traits, and it is likely that BCIs will be able to have similar effects. For the first time, fundamental neural processes in the central nervous system is part organic, part synthetic. A whole field of cyborgology has developed to try to understand the social, political and ethical implications .. the complicated devices that are interacting with the human brain have  an unprecedented amount of control over people's "minds."
