在这篇文章中，我们批判性地研究了未来儿童功能磁共振成像在非临床应用中可能遇到的一些伦理挑战和解释困难，特别关注在课堂和法庭上的应用——儿童直接与国家接触的两个领域。我们首先概述了预期的儿科功能磁共振成像的临床和非临床应用。随后详细分析了一系列困扰fMRI使用的伦理挑战和解释困难，这些挑战和解释困难可能在该技术的非临床应用中特别严重。我们的结论是，对这些挑战和困难的了解应该影响有关fMRI非临床应用的政策决定。我们的目标是鼓励未来政策的发展，规定负责任地使用这种神经成像技术，因为它在临床内外都有发展。
In this article, we critically examine some of the ethical challenges and interpretive difficulties with possible future non-clinical applications of pediatric fMRI with a particular focus on applications in the classroom and the courtroom - two domains in which children come directly in contact with the state. We begin with a general overview of anticipated clinical and non-clinical applications of pediatric fMRI. This is followed by a detailed analysis of a range of ethical challenges and interpretive difficulties that trouble the use of fMRI and are likely to be especially acute with non-clinical uses of the technology. We conclude that knowledge of these challenges and difficulties should influence policy decisions regarding the non-clinical uses of fMRI. Our aim is to encourage the development of future policies prescribing the responsible use of this neuroimaging technology as it develops both within and outside the clinical setting.
