Abstract:
Scientific bibliometric tools were employed to conduct a visual analysis of literature related to neuroimaging ethics， revealing information such as the core authors and key topics in the field of neuroimaging ethics. From the perspective of neuroethics， it analyzed the research topics of neuroimaging ethics， encompassing the impacts of neuroimaging technologies on foundational research in morality， as well as the ethical issues arising from medical and non-medical applications of neuroimaging technologies. Among these， ethical issues in the medical application of neuroimaging technologies included general ethical concerns such as security challenges， privacy protection， and informed consent in neuroimaging practices， together with specific ethical dilemmas， including ethical challenges in assessing disorders of consciousness， incidental findings， and other aspects. Furthermore， this paper explored the frontier trends in neuroimaging ethics， aiming to provide certain ethical guidance for the advancement and application of neuroimaging technologies.
