Brain implants: medical breakthrough or the new frontier of the human mind?
This sixth issue focuses on brain implants, a sub-category of neurotechnology.
These devices, which enable direct interaction between the human brain and technologies, have become one of the most captivating and hotly debated topics in the field of neuroscience and technology. By stimulating certain areas of the brain, restoring motor or cognitive functions, or even treating neurological disorders, these implants open up revolutionary medical prospects. However, beyond their promise, they raise important ethical and societal questions, particularly as the boundaries between human and machine become increasingly blurred.
This strategic health watch, presented by the Research, Europe, International and Watch Unit of the Agence de la biomédecine's Medical and Scientific Department, is designed to highlight the advances and ethical issues surrounding biomedicine.
