Consultation on brain technology
29 February 2012
Last updated at 20:01 ET
From technologies which allow the brain to directly control computers to using electricity to enhance brain function, the way technology can "intervene" in the brain is being reviewed.
The Nuffield Council on Bioethics has launched a public consultation on the ethics of the technology.
Applications range from medicine to warfare and even human enhancement.
Some techniques such as deep brain stimulation (DBS) are already used by thousands of patients.
Prof Thomas Baldwin, from the University of York, is leading the study. He said there had a long history of altering the brain from trepanning - drilling holes in the skull - thousands of years of ago to surgical lobotomies.
He said: "It became apparent there were a number of side effects which were seriously harmful.
"People have become much more cautious about intervening in the brain."
The consultation wants to get the public's view on newer developments.
CommonOne of the most widely used techniques is DBS for Parkinson's patients. Electrodes are inserted into specific regions of the brain and are hooked up to a battery in the chest. Bursts of electricity help control the tremors associated with the condition.
DBS is also being considered for a range of other conditions from depression to Tourette's syndrome.
Dr Alena Buyx, the assistant director of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics, warned that while there were medical benefits, the therapy had "quite significant side effects" and could result in changes to speech and even personality, which raised ethical questions.
She even cited a case of patient caught stealing who used the defence of "my brain electrode made me do it".
It has also been suggested that a different type of brain stimulation, achieved by wearing a special cap, can improve people's ability to do maths.
Dr Buyx said this had triggered debates about human enhancement and whether the technology should ever be used in schools.
Brain to computerThe consultation will also ask for views about "brain computer interfaces" in which brain signals are measured and converted into instructions such as a thought-controlled wheelchair.

There is also research into using the technology to help patients with locked-in syndrome communicate with their brainwaves.
The same techniques have been used to control primitive computer games. However, it is thought that eventually they could be used by the military. In the same way that drone aircraft are controlled remotely, the idea would be that a soldier's brain could control machines engaged in warfare thousands of miles away.
Prof Baldwin said: "Intervening in the brain has always raised both hopes and fears in equal measure.
"Hopes of curing terrible diseases, and fears about the consequences of trying to enhance human capability beyond what is normally possible.
"These challenge us to think carefully about fundamental questions to do with the brain: what makes us human, what makes us an individual, and how and why do we think and behave in the way we do."
The public consultation will take place until 23 April 2012 and the council's recommendations will be made next year.

blade size and cutting rpm - Family Woodworking
20 inches down to 12 is a big drop in diameter. If you were able to cut 4 inches with the 20 inch blade, you have just taken away 4 inches, so you are down to nothing. If your new RAS would cut 6 inches deep, you are now down to 2 inches depth of cut with the tiny 12 inch blade.
Remember that a RAS likes a negative hook blade, or it will climb and attack you. Is your 12 inch blade negative hook?
When you go to a large blade saw the motor of a RAS has to pass over the work, and can get in the way, and the arbor washer tends to be pretty large.

?Odder Rods?
Donruss trading card stickers, 1970
Illustration: Bob ?B. K.? Taylor
JMR Design: excavated from the archives
By the time the Nutty-Mads/Stanley Mouse/Big Daddy Ed Roth-influenced Odd Rods came along, B. K. Taylor was already a veteran cover artist for the 1960s and 1970s MAD magazine-rival SICK, had been a member of Jim Henson?s workshop as a puppeteer and character designer (?Sam the Robot? on Sesame Street; ?Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem? on The Muppet Show) and would later contribute to the ?funny pages? at National Lampoon?first appearing in the 1975 special edition ?National Lampoon?s Very Large Book of Comical Funnies? with the comic strip ?The Appletons,? a family feature which supposedly ran in the 1950s (spoofing the predictable character of such traditional comic strips as The Family Circle, Gasoline Alley, or Blondie?if not a lampoon of form but more of content and repetition). Taylor?s work and style was out of the school of Wally Wood-and-Bill Elder, the two pioneering MAD artists whose hallmark in humor was combining deadpan delivery with slapstick humor and obvious sight gags and titillation humor (and Taylor?s art style was very much reminiscent of Elder?s, with more than a passing nod to another MAD great, Jack Davis). Hilarious and subversive, ?The Appletons? was joined in Lampoon?s Funny Pages by ?Timberland Tales? (a Mark Trail-meets-Dudley Do-Right style farce). Taylor has gone on to work for all the big corporations who trade in humorous entertainment, including Walt Disney, Nickleodeon, and has even been a contributor to MAD magazine itself (not to mention a stint as a staff writer on ABC?s Home Improvement).
Regardless, he is legend to a legion of school children (like me!) from 1969 through their sequels in 1970 and 1973 for his paintings for the ?Odd Rods? trading card stickers for the Donruss Company. The popularity of classic horror monsters had peaked somewhat in the late-1950s through the middle-1960s (think Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine, and every local television market having a late-night weekend ?horror host? introducing reruns of old monster movies, and the Addams Family and The Munsters on the networks) yet the youth culture was still in ascendency, and surely riffs on the popular idiom could still be mined. Monsters and hot rods had been in the ?Kustom? subculture (hot rodders) since the ?50s, so why not bring that back to the kid market with trading cards (hey, it worked for Nutty Mads in the mid-?60s)? Better yet, trading card STICKERS! I can?t begin to tell you how brilliant an idea that was (me and my friends ate it up). For a time in the early-?70s among nine and 10 year-olds, your cool factor could be gauged by how many Odd Rod stickers you had on your pee-chee folder?abetted by STP stickers and decals you could get for free from the local gas station (!).
A little modern reality postscript: Donruss went out of business after the 1990s baseball card boom went bust and their properties went into receivership and an investment firm named DZ Hart bought up the rights (for future exploitation). Taylor says the exclusive intellectual property rights are his?he did draw them all 40 years ago and creator rights would seem to apply (and unless Donruss had signed him to a work-for-hire deal, this would seem to be true) but of course the investment company is disputing this and our beloved Odd Rods have been in court since 2010. Stinkin? corporate intellectual property grab (there?s mud in yer eye).
