Abstract

Le concept de « double usage » réfère habituellement aux recherches ayant des applications à la fois civiles (par exemple, thérapeutiques) et militaires. J’avance que cette dichotomie peut et devrait être reconsidérée et qu’ainsi le concept de double usage pourra aider à faire l’examen d’autres potentiels mésusages, comme la neuroamélioration ou le neuromarketing.


The concept of ‘dual-use’ research usually refers to research with both civilian (e.g., therapeutic) and military applications. I argue here that this dichotomy can and should be reconsidered and thus that the concept of dual-use can be helpful in examining other potential misuses, such as neuroenhancement or neuromarketing.
