Abstract

The emerging interface between nanotechnology and information and communication technology (ICT) looks set to radically enhance the production of neural implants or neuroprosthetics. Responses to these developments, and specifically from within dominant functionalist accounts of mind, hold that neuroprosthetics are likely to prove no more problematic for concepts of human identity than, say an artificial pacemaker. This paper investigates claims of this nature and shows that such accounts rely on an over-simplified model of brain function.
