脑机接口:心身问题的技术进路研究

Brain-computer Interface:A Technical Approach to Explore the Mind-body Problem

脑机接口在心理世界与物理世界之间搭建了直接沟通的桥梁。理想状态下的脑机接口可将人的情绪、情感、意识等心理内容以数字化编码的方式显现出来,从而转化为可供直接观测、研究的对象。这在一定程度上破除了意识研究的“视角难题”,为探究心灵哲学中的经典问题——心身问题提供了新的进路。透过脑机接口技术的实践模型,心身互动的机制将清晰呈现,不仅有力驳斥了割裂心身关系的二元论观点,亦激发了关于心、脑本身及其关系问题的进一步探讨。

Brain-computer interfaces provide a direct bridge between the mental and physical worlds.In an ideal state,the brain-computer interface can display human emotions,feelings,consciousness and other psychological contents in the way of digital coding,so as to be transformed into objects for direct observation and research.To a certain extent,it solves the“Angle of view problem”of consciousness research and provides a new way to explore the classic mind-body problem in philosophy of mind.Through the practical model of brain-computer interface technology,the mechanism of mind-body interaction will be clearly presented,which not only effectively refutes the dualistic view that separates the mind-body relationship,but also stimulates further discussion on the mind and brain themselves and their relationship.
