Neuroethics research, explained
3 open-access neuroethics studies, each with a flashcard deck and a quiz.
- Should DBS personality-change ethics shrink?
Personality, identity, agency, authenticity and self (PIAAAS) changes after DBS look rare in first-hand studies, so neuroethics should deflate the bubble without ignoring the remaining philosophical questions.
- Can brain data help us tell who we are?
Information from neurotechnologies can be a tool for building a coherent, inhabitable identity — so ethics must ask how we ourselves access it, not only how others use it.
- When does memory editing threaten authenticity?
On a dual-basis process view of a narrative self, deleting factual memory content can threaten authenticity, while stripping sensory vividness often does not.
