Abstract:
With the development of brain-computer interface technology （BCI）， its potential to enhance human cognitive and physical abilities continues to emerge， while also stimulating the“superhuman”enhancement impulse to try to push the boundaries of treatment. Overmodification of the body governed by the pursuit of BCI“superhuman”augmentation may lead to a series of ethical body dilemmas， such as issues of bodily autonomy， the risk and benefit of the body medical dimension， and how to define the idealized body at the social level when the natural body and the BCI technology-enhanced body compete in the future. Therefore， it is necessary to take positive measures to promote the development of brain-computer interface technology in the process of continuous innovation and ethical responsibility.
