“Invasive” and “Non-invasive” Technologies in Neuroscience Communication

Abstract: This paper analyzes a common distinction in neuroscience communication: the labels “invasive” and “non-invasive” attributed to brain-observation technologies. Because an implicit or explicit value judgment accompanies the term “non-invasive,” it has been used to promote technological progress, especially new brain-imaging techniques that have appeared in recent decades. This study’s material comes from interactions between some expert scientists and the political sphere. Expert reports on neuroscience from dif… Show more

“…These methods enable the measurement of brain activity throughout the entire brain, albeit with varying spatial and temporal resolutions. However, they also have their own set of limitations and drawbacks, such as the need for expensive equipment, challenges in data interpretation, or potential side effects (Gaillard, 2017).…”

“…14 15 [ iv ] For example, it is quite common to describe one medical intervention as more or less invasive than another. 2 Open abdominal surgery is taken to be more invasive than laparoscopic surgery, 21 and optogenetics using nanoparticles is deemed less invasive than optogenetics using brain implants. 22 23 Such comparisons can naturally be understood as suggesting that the two interventions being contrasted differ in the degree to which they are invasive, and that one is invasive to a greater degree than another.…”
