Ethical implications of brain-computer interfaces with emotion, motor imagery, and subvocal speech classification

Research for Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) has rapidly developed in recent years. Significant advances in this field include brain-controlled bionic limbs and wheelchairs. With these devices, there is a potential benefit for patients with neurologic and neuromuscular diseases, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). ALS involves the degeneration of motor neurons rapidly over time, leading ...
