Neurotechnology (eBook, ePUB)

Premises, Potential, and Problems
Redaktion: Giordano, James

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

New technologies that allow us to investigate mechanisms and functions of the brain have shown considerable promise in treating brain disease and injury. These emerging technologies also provide a means to assess and manipulate human consciousness, cognitions, emotions, and behaviors, bringing with them the potential to transform society. This volume explores the technical, moral, legal, and sociopolitical issues that arise in and from today's applications of neuroscience and technology and discusses their implications for the future. Topics discussed include neurotechnology in education, neuroimaging and tissue implantation technology neuroprostheses, cyborg technology, and more.
