Scientists around the globe are joining the race to achieve engineering feats to read, write, modulate, and interface with the human brain in a broadening continuum of invasive to non-invasive ways. The expansive implications of neurotechnology for our conception of health, mind, decision-making, and behavior has raised social and ethical considerations that are inextricable from neurotechnological progress. We propose "socio-technical" challenges as a framing to integrate neuroethics into the engineering process. Intentionally aligning societal and engineering goals within this framework offers a way to maximize the positive impact of next-generation neurotechnologies on society.
全球科学家正在竞相实现工程壮举，以在不断扩大的侵入性到非侵入性方式中读取、写入、调制和与人类大脑接口。神经技术对我们对健康、思维、决策和行为的概念的广泛影响引发了社会和伦理方面的考虑，这些考虑与神经技术的进步密不可分。我们提出“社会技术”挑战作为将神经伦理学纳入工程过程的框架。在这个框架内有意地使社会和工程目标保持一致，为最大限度地提高下一代神经技术对社会的积极影响提供了一种方法。
