Abstract

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English. The emergence and application of brain–computer interface technology have raised many ethical concerns related to individual autonomy, privacy, and potential for abuse. I support technological progress, but I emphasize ethics first. I believe that the application of brain–computer interface technology should respect the inherent value and dignity of every life. Subject to caution, exploring the use of this technology to alleviate the suffering of terminally ill patients could be considered. The principles of non-maleficence and proportionality of benefits and risks should also be upheld when applying this technology. At the same time, it is necessary to formulate reasonable ethical standards for technology, establish ethics committees, and supervise the research, development, and application of this technology.
