项目摘要

This last period of the fellowship was dedicated to the study of the interaction between technology and the body of research participants. This study is a subpart of the general project: the development of a philosophical approach of scientific instruments in the philosophy of neuroscience and neuroethics. In this study, I focus on tool use in the laboratory: how tools are connected with the body of research participants? In behavioral and brain sciences, the body of the participant is connected to several technologies through which physiological data is recorded. In order to obtain good quality brain data, a number of constraints are imposed on the body of participants, such as restrictions of movement. I have observed and compared several experiments of neuroscience and psychology, including a rich variety of brain imaging tools (e.g., functional magnetic resonance imaging, functional near-infrared spectroscopy). By questioning the conceptions of embodiment behind the use of brain imaging tools, I have shown that different instrumental strategies correspond to different conceptions of embodiment. A paper on this topic has been submitted to a peer-reviewed journal.Presentations of the study have been held at the World Congress of Philosophy, Beijing University, August 2018, and at East China Normal University (Shanghai), Workshop Body Matters: The Many Faces of Embodied Cognition, August 2018. At the World Congress of Philosophy, a roundtable has also been organized with Tetsuya Kono & Jean-Michel Roy on “New Directions in Embodied Knowledge” (2018.8.17).

该奖学金的最后一个阶段致力于研究技术与研究参与者之间的相互作用。这项研究是总体项目的一部分：开发神经科学和神经伦理学中科学仪器的哲学方法。在这项研究中，我重点关注实验室中的工具使用：工具如何与研究参与者的身体连接？在行为和脑科学中，参与者的身体与记录生理数据的多种技术相连接。获得高质量的大脑数据，施加了一些限制我观察并比较了神经科学和心理学的几个实验，包括丰富的大脑成像工具（例如功能性磁共振成像、功能性近红外光谱）。关于使用大脑成像工具背后的具体化概念，我已经证明了不同的工具策略对应于不同的具体化概念，有关该主题的论文已提交给同行评审期刊。该研究的报告已在世界上举行。国会哲学，北京大学，2018 年 8 月，以及华东师范大学（上海），研讨会“身体很重要：具身认知的多面性”，2018 年 8 月。在世界哲学大会上，Tetsuya Kono 和 Jean 还组织了一场圆桌会议-米歇尔·罗伊（Michel Roy）关于“体现知识的新方向”（2018.8.17）。
