We argue that in implanted neurotechnology research, participants and researchers experience what Henry Richardson has called “moral entanglement.” Participants partially entrust researchers with access to their brains and thus to information that would otherwise be private, leading to created intimacies and special obligations of beneficence for researchers and research funding agencies. One of these obligations, we argue, is about continued access to beneficial technology once a trial ends. We make the case for moral entanglement in this context through exploration of participants’ vulnerability, uncompensated risks and burdens, depth of relationship with the research team, and dependence on researchers in implanted neurotechnology trials.

大脑先驱和道德纠葛：神经设备试验中审后责任的争论

我们认为，在植入神经技术研究中，参与者和研究人员会经历亨利·理查森所说的“道德纠葛”。参与者部分委托研究人员接触他们的大脑，从而获得原本属于私人的信息，从而为研究人员和研究资助机构创造了亲密关系和特殊的慈善义务。我们认为，其中一项义务是在试验结束后继续获得有益的技术。我们通过探索参与者的脆弱性、未补偿的风险和负担、与研究团队的关系深度以及对植入神经技术试验中研究人员的依赖来论证这种背景下的道德纠葛。。
