Abstract

This study investigates the impact of social factors on public acceptance of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology within China's general population. As BCI emerges as a pivotal advancement in artificial intelligence and a cornerstone of Industry 5.0, understanding its societal reception is crucial. Utilizing data from the Psychological and Behavioral Study of Chinese Residents (N = 1,923), this research examines the roles of learning ability, age, health, social support, and socioeconomic status in BCI acceptance, alongside considerations of gender and the level of monthly household income. Multiple regression analysis via STATA-MP18 reveals that while health, socioeconomic status, social support, and learning ability significantly positively correlate with acceptance, and age presents an inverse relationship, gender and household income do not demonstrate a significant effect. Notably, the prominence of learning ability and social support as principal factors suggests targeted avenues for increasing BCI technology adoption. These findings refine the current understanding of technology acceptance and offer actionable insights for BCI policy and practical applications.

中国公众对脑机接口技术社会接受度的影响因素：一项探索性研究。

本研究探讨了社会因素对中国公众接受脑机接口（BCI）技术的影响。随着BCI成为人工智能领域的重要进步和工业5.0的基石，了解其社会接受度至关重要。本研究利用《中国居民心理与行为研究》（N = 1,923）的数据，研究了学习能力、年龄、健康状况、社会支持和社会经济地位在BCI接受度中的作用，以及性别和家庭月收入水平等因素。通过 STATA-MP18 进行的多元回归分析表明，健康、社会经济地位、社会支持和学习能力与接受度呈显著正相关，而年龄与接受度呈反向关系，但性别和家庭收入对接受度的影响并不明显。值得注意的是，学习能力和社会支持作为主要因素的突出表现，为提高生物识别技术的采用率提供了有针对性的途径。这些发现完善了目前对技术接受度的理解，并为生物识别技术政策和实际应用提供了可行的见解。

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Human Neuroscience is a first-tier electronic journal devoted to understanding the brain mechanisms supporting cognitive and social behavior in humans, and how these mechanisms might be altered in disease states. The last 25 years have seen an explosive growth in both the methods and the theoretical constructs available to study the human brain. Advances in electrophysiological, neuroimaging, neuropsychological, psychophysical, neuropharmacological and computational approaches have provided key insights into the mechanisms of a broad range of human behaviors in both health and disease. Work in human neuroscience ranges from the cognitive domain, including areas such as memory, attention, language and perception to the social domain, with this last subject addressing topics, such as interpersonal interactions, social discourse and emotional regulation. How these processes unfold during development, mature in adulthood and often decline in aging, and how they are altered in a host of developmental, neurological and psychiatric disorders, has become increasingly amenable to human neuroscience research approaches. Work in human neuroscience has influenced many areas of inquiry ranging from social and cognitive psychology to economics, law and public policy. Accordingly, our journal will provide a forum for human research spanning all areas of human cognitive, social, developmental and translational neuroscience using any research approach.
