BACKGROUND TO THE DEBATE A variety of biomedical technologies are being developed that can be used for purposes other than treating disease. Such "enhancement technologies" can be used to improve our appearance and regulate our emotions, with the goal of feeling "better than well." While these technologies can help people adapt to their rapidly changing lifestyles, their use raises important et...

Recently, there is an increasing interest in and research on human engineering and emotion engineering. As a basic research on biofeedback interface technology, the development of a system for processing and modeling complex biomedical signals is very important, and these technologies will eventually offer a pleasant life environment, so the human-centered system based on biomedical signal anal...

In many ways, diagnostic technologies differ from therapeutic medical technologies. Perhaps most important, diagnostic technologies do not generally directly affect long-term patient outcomes. Instead, the results of diagnostic tests can influence the care of patients; in that way, diagnostic tests may affect long-term outcomes. Because of this, the benefits associated with the use of a specifi...
