¿Qué es la neuromejora? Hacia una comprensión enactiva del fenómeno
Abstract
Durante las últimas décadas, el consumo de psicofármacos ha aumentado sostenidamente en la población mundial. Particularmente en Latinoamérica, es observable un aumento del consumo de drogas ilícitas, entre ellos de psicofármacos, principalmente en población universitaria vía automedicación Dentro de las prácticas de automedicación en el mundo universitario encontramos distintos usos sociales y subjetivos destacando entre ellos, el uso de fármacos psicoestimulantes con el fin de potenciar el desempeño académico, práctica llamada neuromejora. Este modo de uso del fármaco pone en cuestión la brecha epistemológica entre las ciencias biológicas y las ciencias sociales, ya que su comprensión, no es reductible a ninguno de estos paradigmas. Las acciones humanas, siempre se dan en circunstancias físicas y culturales, en donde el otro y la vida social, afectan la propia percepción y acción, en este sentido, la pregunta sobre qué es la neuromejora, será posible de abordar desde una epistemología que proponga un marco de comprensión e intervención, que tenga en cuenta el carácter complejo y dinámico de la misma, al igual que, de un trabajo científico e interdisciplinar.
During the last decades, the consumption of psychotropic drugs has been sustained in the world population. Particularly in Latin America, an increase in the consumption of illicit drugs is observable, including psychoactive drugs, mainly in the university population. Self-medication Within the self-medication practices in the university world, we find different social and subjective uses, highlighting among them the use of psychostimulant drugs. in order to enhance academic performance, a practice called neuroenhancement. This way of using the drug calls into question the epistemological gap between the biological sciences and the social sciences, since its understanding is not reducible to any of these paradigms. Human actions always occur in physical and cultural circumstances, where the other and social life, reduce one's own perception and action, in this sense, the question about what neuroenhancement would be, will be possible to address from an epistemology that proposes a framework of understanding and intervention, which takes into account its complex and dynamic nature, as well as scientific and interdisciplinary work.
