The Extension of Self Through Brain-computer Interface
The use of brain-computer interface(BCI),to some extent,extended self by enabling the physical and mental functions of individuals to be replaced by machines beyond the boundaries of the subjects.However,the current theory of BCI extension lacks the discussion of BCI extended self.Therefore,this paper attempts to introduce the perspective of extended self,and to explore how BCI extends self from the practice perspective,using the three dimensions of physiology,psychology and narrative as the analytical framework of self.By analyzing the extension of self through BCI,this paper reveals that the extended self through BCI is a unique form of self-adjustment combined with external elements,providing a useful perspective for explaining the impact of BCI on individuals.Finally,it summarizes related ethical issues concerning self-extension.
