How I became myself after merging with a computer: Does human-machine symbiosis raise human rights issues?
Novel usages of brain stimulation combined with artificially intelligent (AI) systems
promise to address a large range of diseases. These new conjoined technologies, such
as brain-computer interfaces (BCI), are increasingly used in experimental and clinical
settings to predict and alleviate symptoms of various neurological and psychiatric
disorders. Due to their reliance on AI algorithms for feature extraction and classification,
these BCI systems enable a novel, unprecedented, and direct connection between human
cognition and artificial information processing.
