Ethical considerations for engineers working in cybernetic implants

Paper on hacking the brain and ethices of nueral implants.


 * 1) Novel scientific discoveries stemming from cybernetic and neural research bring many basic questions concerning the role of human dignity in medical research and the effect of this research on the long term outlook in society.
 * 2) Paper on hacking the brain and ethices of nueral implants. "Therefore, unless appropriate safeguards are considered early in the design of the neural devices that will be deployed in the next future (5–20 years), concerns of malicious misuse in the form of brain-hacking could become paramount for public safety."
 * 3) Essay on ethics of brain computer interface with a focus on impacting the brain's memory and thoughts. "If neuroscientists could unambiguously discern a person's intentions from the chattering electrical activity that they record in the brain, and then see that it matched the robotic arm's actions, ethical concerns would be minimized. But this is not the case. The neural correlates of psychological phenomena are inexact and poorly understood, which means that signals from the brain are increasingly being processed by artificial intelligence (AI) software before reaching prostheses."
 * 4) Book on perparing for the futrue of neuroethics.
 * 5) Essay on ethical issues for brain implants.
 * 6) User centric concerns: what happens if the company you purchase BCIs from goes bankrupt.
