Abstract
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) comprises a device that detects brain signals conveying specific intentions and translates them into executable outputs by a machine. It enables neurologically impaired patients to regain some control over their environment, thereby aiding in their rehabilitation. Some authors argue that 'the use of BCI is the greatest ethical challenge that neuroscience faces today. Ethical issues highlighted in the literature include safety, justice, privacy, security, and the balance of risks and benefits.
期刊介绍:
Neurological Research is an international, peer-reviewed journal for reporting both basic and clinical research in the fields of neurosurgery, neurology, neuroengineering and neurosciences. It provides a medium for those who recognize the wider implications of their work and who wish to be informed of the relevant experience of others in related and more distant fields.
The scope of the journal includes:
•Stem cell applications
•Molecular neuroscience
•Neuropharmacology
•Neuroradiology
•Neurochemistry
•Biomathematical models
•Endovascular neurosurgery
•Innovation in neurosurgery.
