Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to focus on neurofeedback, which has been attracting attention in recent years, to examine its ethical issues and to evaluate its social acceptability. While neurofeedback technology has advanced rapidly in recent years, analysis from an ethical perspective is still in its infancy. The ethical points are social acceptance, informed consent, and risk / benefit evaluation. In particular, it was found that risk evaluation and social acceptability regarding the irreversibility of the neurofeedback technology are the ethical points of this technology.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究はニューロフィードバック技術に関する倫理的問題を整理した国際的にも初めての研究である。この成果は「Should we Erase our Unpleasant Memories? Ethics of Memory Manipulation by Neurofeedback Technologies」と題するプレゼンテーションにまとめ、国際脳神経倫理学会において発表を行った。これにより、ニューロフィードバックの倫理に関して、国際的な場面で一定の発信ができたと考えられる。
