Abstract
This study analyzes the characteristics of the brain project in biomedical engineering (e.g., scientific, systematic, and multi-party cooperation aspects), and then compares the differences and connections between neuroscience technology and the brain project. It further compares the goals and ethical concerns of brain projects in different countries. This study also reflects on the moral meaning of the brain project in regard to the influence on individual autonomy, and the dual uses of the results. Finally, the author proposes that the study of neuroengineering philosophy (as represented by the brain project) will become a new research field in engineering philosophy, and that ethics should be integrated into the brain project, e.g., by establishing ethics working groups.
