SOURCE: STAT NEWS MENTAL HEALTHTITLE: STAT+: What patients actually think about ‘minimally invasive’ brain implants
Scroll through the flashy websites of neurotechnology startups and a phrase repeats again and again: “minimally invasive.”
“The term is fuzzy, problematic,” said Anna Wexler, a medical ethics and health policy professor at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. “Is it physical invasiveness? We’re not sure, it’s a fraught term.”
The fuzziness hasn’t stopped most brain-computer interface startups from deploying it in a bid to differentiate their devices from others in development. Synchron, Motif Neuroscience, Precision Neuroscience, and Merge Labs all use it liberally. Journalists sometimes repeat the spin.

#Zoomposium with #ThomasMetzinger Part 2: 🤖 #Self-Models, #neuromorphic #AI & the Future of Our #CultureofConsciousness 🧠
What is the “self”—and could a #machine one day develop its own #consciousness?
In the second part of the discussion, the #SelfModelTheory of #Subjectivity takes center stage.

Our new 📄 in Current Alzheimer Research looks at a strange, and worrying, phenomenon in scientific writing: tortured phrases. Instead of blood-brain barrier, some papers use bizarre alternatives like blood-brain obstruction or blood-cerebrum boundary.
:doi: https://doi.org/10.2174/0115672050460224260206052444
These are not just language errors, they can signal deeper issues such as weak #PeerReview or even #PaperMills.

¿La IA podría llegar a "leer" nuestros pensamientos?
🧠🔐 Las interfaces cerebro-computadora (BCI) son increíbles para la salud, pero abren un debate ético enorme: la privacidad mental. ¿Debemos proteger nuestros datos neuronales antes de que sean comercializables?
Puntos clave:
✅ Avance médico: Control de dispositivos con la mente.
✅ Riesgo: Comercialización de datos cerebrales.
✅ Necesidad: Legislación de privacidad cognitiva.
La tecnología debe ser humana y segura. ✨#Neurotecnología #IA #PrivacidadMental #Ética #BCI #SaludDigital #IASinFronteras #TechForGood #FuturoHumano #Neuroethics #BrainComputerInterface #TechEthics #CognitiveLiberty #HumanCenteredAI #Privacy #DataPrivacy #FutureTech #HealthTech #AIethics #DigitalRights

Daniel Moseley ja Eric Juengst ovat uusineet SEP-entryään ihmisen kohentelusta, https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/enhancement/
Kyse on filosofisesta "maaston" kartoituksesta, ja sisällysluettelo näyttää, kummosia kysymyksiä voisi pohtia.

🧠💭 The role of philosophy in science
Can a philosopher talk about consciousness without being a neuroscientist—or vice versa? Heisenberg already knew that science needs self-reflection.
In the Zoomposium with the late Gerhard Roth, we talk about the limits of what can be explained.

🎉 #FreeWill – #Reality or #Illusion? ✨
Our actions arise from deterministic processes in the #brain, but we only see the consequences.
In the #Zoomposium with #WolfSinger, we ask: Can the brain understand itself?

Parents of young blind children face ethical dilemmas both when applying or withholding sensory substitution options: children have greater brain plasticity, but long-term benefit of sensory substitution in daily life has not yet been firmly established, while mastering sensory substitution as an adult likely becomes harder and with more limited results. #ethics #NeuroEthics #blind #blindness

💡 New research from the Neurotech Justice Accelerator at Mass General Brigham, a Dana Center, looks into the public perception of neurotechnologies targeting mood, memory, and motor-based brain conditions. By tracking public and patient attitudes over time and addressing concerns, developers can refine neurotechnologies to meet the needs of society.
