Application Risks and Legal Regulations of Brain-Computer Interface Technology
Brain computer interface technology has great potential in improving human health and well-being.However,its applications may pose risks such as physical harm,psychological damage,and interference with autonomy of will.The underlying causes lie in the overlap between the brain's vulnerability and the potential dangers of the technology,the conflict between spiritual privacy and the necessity of reading the brain,and the tension between technological innovation and legal lag.Therefore,a dynamic informed consent model should be adopted,and medical personnel should fully and continuously fulfill their obligation to explain,and periodically evaluate the patient's ability to give informed consent,and decide whether to obtain consent authorization again depending on the situation.It also needs to establish a human neural rights system,including the rights to mental privacy,mental integrity,and free will.The rules of civil juristic act should be improved,and the law should recognize that natural persons can make an expression of intent through brain computer interface technology.A natural person should have the right of revocation when they make an expression of intent that does not reflect their true intention due to equipment malfunction or external interference,and differential protection should be provided based on whether the other party is aware of the situation.
