Brain-Computer Interfaces: A Reflection on Their Possible Ethical and Biopolitical Implications in Technoscientific Societies Pág. 10 - 37

Abstract

Based on an exhaustive bibliographic review divided into four stages, this qualitative research explores the ethical and biopolitical implications of various types of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), conceived as neurotechnological artifacts capable of generating computational outputs. The article concludes that, beyond their relevance in the clinical field, these interfaces have significant ethical and biopolitical implications in the technoscientific context, especially when they extend beyond the medical domain. These implications include the handling of personal data, research and experimentation processes, equitable access, bodily optimization, autonomy, and the effects on personal identity derived from bodily intervention.
