摘要
This paper focuses on ethical aspects of BCI, as a research and a clinical tool, that are challenging for practitioners currently working in the field. Specifically, the difficulties involved in acquiring informed consent from locked-in patients are investigated, in combination with all analysis of the shared moral responsibility in BCI teams, and the complications encountered in establishing effective communication with media.
