This chapter is an introduction to the section on neuroenhancement, which is regarded as an intervention in the central nervous system in order to “improve” certain aspects of a person’s “healthy” or “normal” performance. This can be accomplished by pharmaceutical means, surgery, and/or technology. The section on neuroenhancement begins with a chapter looking at pharmaceutical mood enhancement. It then centers on smart drugs followed by a chapter on the use of brain-computer interfaces for enhancement purposes and another one analyzing moral neuroenhancement. The section concludes with a chapter presenting some general reflections on neuroenhancement.
