Neuroscience, Humanism and Posthumanism
Abstract
During the last three decades, Neuroscience has made spectacular progress, but research has serious challenges. We discuss current neuroscientific research projects, such as the Conectoma Project, the Brain Project, and the Human Brain Project. We study the confluence of biomedical technologies and genetic engineering with artificial intelligence and computing and the impact they have on the knowledge of the outside world and ourselves. We identify potentialities and threats of new technologies and the contribution to the formation of post-humanist thinking.
