Neuroethics under the BRAIN Initiative has been focused upon both the neuroethical implications of basic advances in neuroscience, as well as the ethics attending the development of ever more powerful tools to both understand the brain and treat dysfunction. It has focused on health and disease in the context of the pre-pandemic status quo, essentially divorced from issues like infectious disease and large-scale disruption of social and economic structures. The questions animating the neuroethics of the BRAIN Initiative, on first glance, seemingly fail to intersect with the primary concerns of a post-Covid world, but careful consideration shows that they of course do. After all, the brain's job is to model and respond to the pressures of our environment, and the environment of virtually all of humanity has changed in a dramatic way, unprecedented since the rise of modern neuroscience. Here we consider ways in which neuroethics work aligned with the BRAIN Initiative can inform our response to the Covid crisis, as well as ways in which the pandemic may shape future work in neuroethics. In particular we focus on neuroethics work on .
BRAIN 计划下的神经伦理学既关注神经科学基础研究进展所带来的神经伦理问题，也关注不断发展的强大工具在理解大脑和治疗功能障碍方面的应用所带来的伦理问题。它主要关注大流行前的健康和疾病问题，基本上与传染病和社会经济结构的大规模破坏等问题无关。乍一看，推动 BRAIN 计划神经伦理学的问题似乎与后新冠世界的主要关注点没有交集，但仔细考虑后会发现它们当然是有交集的。毕竟，大脑的工作是对我们所处环境的压力进行建模和反应，而几乎所有人的生存环境都发生了巨大变化，这种变化自现代神经科学兴起以来前所未有。在这里，我们将探讨与 BRAIN 计划一致的神经伦理学工作如何为我们应对新冠危机提供信息，并探讨大流行可能会如何塑造未来的神经伦理学工作。特别是，我们重点关注神经伦理学在 方面的工作。
