Titre:Neurotechnologies and life trajectories: exploring how we become who we are
9
Résumé:How, and under what circumstances, do we become who we are? An increasing wide range of neurotechnologies are being used to either read or modify neural processes, and in doing so, they produce new understandings of what might underpin or influence who we become. I will briefly present two anthropological studies on how lives are envisioned and shaped by neurotechnologies. The first explores emerging molecular models of post-trauma life trajectories and suicidality and how these compare to narratives of people with lived experiences of suicide. The second focuses on the experiences of deaf people who use cochlear implants (CIs), comparing scientific accounts and understandings of how the devices work, clinical reports of CI users’ hearing, and how the users describe their experiences. Overall, this research explores the types of data and accounts that emerge from different research agendas and methods, and how bringing together different perspectives (e.g., biological, clinical, social) yields new insights.
