The Ethical Significance of Brain-Computer Interfaces as Enablers of Communication by Toma Gruica

“…The current ethical literature predominantly analyzes BCIs through two prevailing frameworks. The first treats them as medical devices warranting standard risk-benefit analysis, assessing safety, efficacy, and clinical outcomes.[2] The second framework situates BCIs within the emerging field of neuroethics, emphasizing concerns about privacy, cognitive liberty, data security, and the potential for manipulation.[3] Although previous work has already emphasized the ethical importance of BCIs in restoring communicative capacities, this paper develops the claim further by foregrounding what may be termed the ethical function of BCIs.[4] Their significance lies not just in enhancing particular interactions or reducing barriers, but in re-establishing the very possibility of communication, through which individuals assert their will, can participate in community, and be recognized as interlocutors. …”
