In this millennium, we are witnessing the greatest scientific and technological revolution of all times and we are confronting ourselves with an unprecedented debate about brain regeneration, artificial intelligence and neuroprostheses for brain function restoration and enhancement.

This site is intended to engage in an open dialogue between scientists, society, and policy makers to address the philosophical and ethical concerns arising from the increasing trend of the biotechnology and biomedical fields towards man-machine hybridization. It pursues a holistic approach to human well-being using an interdisciplinary combination of expert perspectives and philosophy, in order to inform the public and correct widespread misconceptions and fears about ‘cyborgs’ and human enhancement, stemming both from transhumanism and bioconservatism.

“We started outsourcing our thinking to machines in the 19th century, using tools for thought, like computers, to extend our cognitive capacities. Does that mean that machines can think or that they make thinking superfluous?
I’m a cognitive philosopher and here I analyze the division of labor between mind and machine in its original context”
