HUMAN COGNITIVE ENHANCEMENT

With the growing possibilities of interfering with the human body, aimed at both repairing nature's mistakes and improving the body, aesthetic medicine has begun to develop dynamically. While repairing nature's mistakes is undoubtedly necessary, improving it is already a matter of debate. This area concerns changes in physical nature.

• Current topic intensively discussed
• Diverse aspects in the context of various research areas
• Carefully documented articles based on the latest literature
• Analysis of cognitive enhancement using natural enhancers, pharmacology, and advanced technologies
• Discussion on ethical aspects of improving a well-functioning mind

The book addresses the issue of interventions to improve cognitive function. This activity seems much more dangerous because it does not concern pathological changes, i.e. repairing nature's mistakes, but improving an already well-functioning mind. Moreover, this improvement can be made using selected natural enhancers or pharmacology or advanced technologies. And it is these that raise many serious discussions and critical comments.

All the texts included in the book address very current and intensively discussed issues. The analyses undertaken are carried out in various aspects, in the context of various research areas. The presented articles are thoroughly documented and, to a large extent, with the latest literature. The book is a valuable source of knowledge for all those interested in the impact of technology on the human mind.

This book is the result of the work of many authors who have undertaken the analysis of the phenomenon of cognitive enhancement from various perspectives.
