Topic:
We are on the verge of many pioneering activities
and scientific breakthroughs concerning brain-computer
interfaces, brain stimulation, and neurochemicals, that have the
potential to go beyond the treatment of diseases to enhance
cognitive performance in work, education, and leisure. At the
same time, societal processes such as the quest for
self-optimization or transformations in and outside of the labor
market (e.g., digitalization, increasing stress, and cognitive
demands) may create the desire, but also the pressure, to use
such neuroenhancement. These developments require the attention
of an interdisciplinary dialog. The conference aims to unravel
the inherent complexity of neuroenhancement by bringing together
ethicists, sociologists, psychologists, engineers,
pharmacologists, neuroscientists, political scientists, and
legal scholars. By fostering interdisciplinary exchange, we aim
to illuminate the multifaceted dimensions of neuroenhancement
and facilitate future collaborations.
