Informed consent among psychiatric patients is a major concern in brain-computer interface (BCI) clinical research. This review identifies informed consent competency (ICC) assessment as the main challenge, particularly in patients with schizophrenia, mood disorders, anorexia nervosa, alcohol dependence, and neurocognitive disorders due to Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. The MacArthur Competence Assessment Tool evaluates four clinical aspects of ICC. Six psychiatric disorders have common and disorder-specific factors and ethical issues related to ICC. The Five-Dimension BCI-specific ICC framework is constructed in psychiatric disorders. Future research should develop dynamic evaluation systems and enhance ICC in patients. |
