Assignment 1
Indsæt i alt 5 punktummer i nedenstående tekstuddrag og ret til stort
begyndelsesbogstav.
Imagine you’re trying to understand a conversation between a big group of friends about a
complicated subject. But you’re allowed to listen to only a single person. You might be able
to figure out the very rough topic of what the conversation is about, but definitely not all
the details and nuances of the entire discussion.
(…)
There is also what we think of as a language barrier. Neurons communicate with each other
through a complex interaction of electrical signals and chemical reactions. This native
electro-chemical language can be interpreted with electrical circuits, but it’s not easy.
Similarly, when we speak back to the brain using electrical stimulation, it is with a heavy
electrical “accent.” This makes it difficult for neurons to understand what the stimulation is
trying to convey in the midst of all the other ongoing neural activity.

To demonstrate how this technology works, Rao and his team of students use a BCI that
allows them to study nonverbal communication. First, the student is fitted with an
electroencephalogram or EEG cap, which is a series of electrodes placed on the scalp to
record brain signals.

In the foreground of this captivating image, we see a field of yellow buttercups

stretching to the cloudy twilight sky that brings a sense of renewal and
timelessness. On a small plot barren from buttercups, we see people who are in
the midst of a trust fall exercise, which is captured by a helicopter drone operated
by people behind them. The image whose symbolism and contrast are created by
the vibrant flora and pastel sky making one’s eye almost at peace when they see

Assignment 5
In our modern era of rapid technological progress, where industry, science, and
engineering propel us into unprecedented frontiers, the once futuristic aspiration of
neurotechnology are actually becoming technological feasible. While slow and
riddled with ethical conundrums the advancement in Brain-Computer Interfaces
(BCIs) stand at the forefront, offering the potential to bridge the gap between the
human mind and machines. In this essay I argue for BCIs will trying to address
related issues regarding BCIs.
First and foremost, you may have heard big claims about BCIs and their potential like
“mind reader” or “cure for scoliosis” while that is potentially true in the future, BCIs
are held back by our limited understanding of the brain. It’s important to understand
this is a new technology therefore everything will require research, time, and money
because if you don’t understand this and decided to get a BCI most people will feel
lied to and that could lead to depression, which is what we see in most BCI patients.
All of this is not they say that BCIs er bad and we should stop using them, quite the
contrary, if we think back to the 80s and how computers worked back then, they
were loud, slow, clunky, but they was potential and now we have computers the size
of our pocket able to do much more than was ever thought possible and has created
the giant that is the computer and software industry. Just like the computer changed
our world today so could BCIs and the neurotechnology industry change our world in
the future. The sheer amount of untapped potential we could do with a 100%
understanding of the brain and technology to match. We could just cure disability
and pain or just downloading a language not to mention, how this can improve all of
industry.
This sounds good and dandy and farfetched which it is. However you may be
wondering how safe this is and while surgery to implant a BCI on the brain is very
safe, cyber security and personal date security is still a problem we deal with today
and it would be hard to predict, how exactly it would work with the internet and
hacker attacks, so it my not be so bad that there is still a long time to BCIs change
the global landscape, because that gives us time to fix this modern problems with

online security.
Additionally, the issue of informed consent and corporatisation of neurotechnology

emerges as a critical ethical consideration. The complexity of BCIs both in their
technical and potential impact on individuals, necessitates a comprehensive
understanding and acceptance by users. Informed consent with the companies
should not only be a legal requirement but a moral imperative to ensure that
individuals are cognizant of the risks, implications, long-term consequences of
engaging with such technology. Fostering transparency and facilitating informed
decision-making becomes paramount in an ethical framework that prioritizes
individual autonomy and self.
In conclusion, the ethical questions raised by Brain-Computer Interfaces demand our

unwavering attention and careful consideration. As we navigate this uncharted
territory of human-machine symbiosis, a judicious and ethical approach is essential
to safeguard the principles of privacy, autonomy, and informed consent. By
acknowledging and addressing these ethical concerns head-on, we can ensure that
the integration of BCIs into our lives contributes positively to the human experience.
