Abstract
BISCAIA FERNANDEZ, José Miguel and MOHEDANO DEL POZO, Rosa Belén. Brains, minds and robots: an approach through 21st century cinema. Rev Med Cine [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.1, pp.49-56. Epub Mar 29, 2021. ISSN 1885-5210. https://dx.doi.org/10.14201/rmc20201714956.
Neuroethics and neurotechnological transhumanism are relatively new academic disciplines. Both are midway between the humanities and the neurosciences. In this study, a descriptive analysis has been made of the interest of the Oscar awards for works that have dealt with these subjects throughout the 21st century. The results obtained indicate that 16.8% of the 107 films studied show characters or offer themes related to neuroscience, neurology, cognitive and computer sciences, all of which are cutting-edge scientific areas that will have a significant biomedical and social impact in the coming years.
Keywords : neuroscience; cognitive science; philosophy of mind; neuroethics; transhumanism.
