In anticipation of increasing interest in public engagement, this article seeks to expand the current discussion in the neuroethics literature concerning what public engagement on issues related to neuroscience might entail and how they could be envisioned. It notes that the small amount of available neuroethics literature related to public engagement has principally discussed only communication/education or made calls for dialogue without exploring what this might entail on a practical level. The article links across three seemingly disparate examples-salmon, biobanks, and neuroethics-to consider and clarify the need for public engagement in neuroscience.
鉴于公众参与的兴趣日益浓厚，本文旨在拓展神经伦理学文献中当前关于神经科学相关问题的公众参与可能涉及哪些方面以及如何构想这些参与的讨论。文章指出，现有的少量与公众参与相关的神经伦理学文献主要仅讨论了沟通/教育或呼吁进行对话，而没有探讨这在实践层面可能意味着什么。本文通过鲑鱼、生物样本库和神经伦理学这三个看似毫不相干的例子进行关联，以思考并阐明神经科学领域公众参与的必要性。
