“…Googling Elon Musk's Neuralink (Pisarchik et al, 2019) gives more than a million results today. But as digital technologies can develop at exponential speeds and given that the first generation of brain implants is already well established (Houston et al, 2018;Ylikoski & Raivio, 1997), we should be prepared to have a serious ethical discussion about further use of these technologies sooner rather than later.…”

Through five experimental studies we measured moral reactions to brain implants. We used three different measurements: 1) moral approval, or the general acceptance of brain-enhancing implants and people getting such implants, 2) perceived unfairness of the enhancement and 3) dehumanization of persons using brain implants. In our vignettes, the enhancement was on one of three levels: a) it alleviated an ailment, b) it gave optimal human level performance or c) it gave superhuman performance. Studies 1 to 4 were about memory enhancement, Study 5A about en-hancing general intelligence and Study 5B about enhancing emotional stability.We successfully showed that moral approval, sense of fairness and dehumanization are rele-vant in contexts where moral implications of new technologies are being evaluated and that while people generally approve of curing ailments, they are more cautious of unfamiliar levels of en-hancement. Furthermore, we linked the tendency to condemn transhumanist technologies to fac-tors associated with disgust sensitivity (the binding orientation of the Moral Foundations Theory and sexual disgust) and found that science fiction hobbyism is linked to approval of brain im-plants. We also successfully ruled out possible idiosyncrasies associated with our stimulus materi-als and eliminated multiple alternative explanations common in the study of moral cognition

“…In this review, we discussed the potential treatments based on the modulation of neural plasticity in the brain of animals. Recently, with the advances in the field of the brain-computer interface, new techniques for assessing and stimulating the brain have emerged [136,137]. The brain stimulation techniques indeed have potential in clinical chronic pain treatment: transcranial magnetic stimulation in the motor cortex [138] and deep brain stimulation in the ACC [139], the PAG [140], and the subthalamic nucleus [141].…”

Neural Plasticity in the Brain during Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathic pain is an intractable chronic pain, caused by damage to the somatosensory nervous system. To date, treatment for neuropathic pain has limited effects. For the development of efficient therapeutic methods, it is essential to fully understand the pathological mechanisms of neuropathic pain. Besides abnormal sensitization in the periphery and spinal cord, accumulating evidence suggests that neural plasticity in the brain is also critical for the development and maintenance of this pain. Recent technological advances in the measurement and manipulation of neuronal activity allow us to understand maladaptive plastic changes in the brain during neuropathic pain more precisely and modulate brain activity to reverse pain states at the preclinical and clinical levels. In this review paper, we discuss the current understanding of pathological neural plasticity in the four pain-related brain areas: the primary somatosensory cortex, the anterior cingulate cortex, the periaqueductal gray, and the basal ganglia. We also discuss potential treatments for neuropathic pain based on the modulation of neural plasticity in these brain areas.

Use of Artificial intelligence (AI) has increased in the healthcare in many sectors. Organizations from health care of different sizes, types and different specialties are now a days more interested in how artificial intelligence has evolved and is helping patient needs and their care, also reducing costs, and increasing efficiency. This study explores the implications of AI on healthcare management, and challenges involved with using AI in healthcare along with the review of several research papers that used AI models in different sectors of healthcare like Dermatology, Radiology, Drug design etc.
