AUGMENTATION OF BRAIN FUNCTION: FACTS, FICTION AND CONTROVERSY
1 Augmentation of brain function is no longer just a theme of science fiction. __________(I) advances in
2 neural sciences, it has become a matter of reality that a person may consider at some point in life, for example
3 as a treatment of a neurodegenerative disease. Currently, several approaches offer enhancements for sensory,
4 motor and cognitive brain functions,__________(II) for mood and emotions. Such enhancements may be
5 achieved pharmacologically, using brain implants for recordings, stimulation and drug delivery,__________(III)
6 employing brain-machine interfaces, or even by ablation of certain brain areas.
7 In this Research Topic, we welcome papers critically evaluating the existing methods of brain
8 augmentation, introducing new approaches and probing particular parts of brain circuitry and particular
9 neuronal mechanisms as candidates for an enhancement. We welcome scientists from different fields: from
10 neuroscience of microcircuits to systems neuroscience of large-scale networks and neural engineering. The
11 work can be experimental or computational. Reviews and papers on philosophical and ethical issues are
12 __________(IV) welcome.
13 While the scope of possible relevant topics is broad, the authors are encouraged to clearly indicate how
14 their studies address the announced theme of brain augmentation.
