O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar o estado da arte das pesquisas científicas sobre aprimoramento cognitivo, visando a fornecer subsídios para uma discussão menos especulativa sobre o tema. Para tal, realizamos uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre os dispositivos de aprimoramento cognitivo biotecnológicos vigentes. O resultado aponta para o caráter inconcluso das pesquisas, não havendo respostas significativas que certifiquem a efetividade de práticas de aprimoramento cognitivo, ao menos da forma como este vem sendo idealizado e discutido. Defenderemos, assim, que os investimentos na área precisam ser analisados sob o ponto de vista da justiça, levando-se em consideração outras formas de aprimoramento cognitivo disponíveis e comprovadas. Pretendemos indicar como alternativa um investimento substancial na mais antiga forma de aprimoramento humano, a educação, a fim de que novas metodologias possam ser pensadas e adequadas às demandas da sociedade contemporânea e a um ideal de sociedade mais justa e igualitária.
