Passive treatment, active enhancement, paradigm shiftAbstract
This article systematically reviews the development history of chip implantation technology, from the early medical-oriented passive treatment technology to the modern active enhanced application paradigm shift. By analyzing typical cases such as pacemakers, insulin pumps and cochlear implants, this article deeply and fully expounds the principles of passive medical treatment techniques, the effects to the human life, and limitations of medical treatment techniques. At the same time, this article also explores technological breakthroughs in new applications such as enhanced brain-computer interfaces, memory enhancement, and emotion regulation. By analyzing the difference between passive treatment and modern one, this paper finds that the fundamental reason for the paradigm shift lies in core technologies such as chip miniaturization, neural signal processing, and closed-loop feedback control. Noticeably, they gradually correspond the human’s increasing demands for daily life. Finally, this paper discusses the social impact of paradigm shift and the future development direction of chip implantation technology.
