Your Right to Mental Privacy in the age of Brain Sensing Technology. They used this tech to eavesdrop on what I was thinking while at the deli looking at the ice cream freezer! Thank god I know occlumency. Still. We have no privacy.


Nita Farahany: Your right to mental privacy in the age of brain-sensing tech

Neurotechnology, or devices that let you track your own brain activity, could help you deeply understand your health. But without privacy protections, your innermost thoughts, emotions and desires could be at risk of exploitation, says neurotech and AI ethicist Nita Farahany. She details some of the field's promising potential uses -- like tracking and treating diseases from depression to epilepsy -- and shares concerns about who collects our brain data and how they plan to use it, ultimately calling for the legal recognition of "cognitive liberty" as we connect our brains and minds to technology.

We need people who believe in striving for all human rights to Drop In & Escort Humanitarian Aide into Gaza, Sheikh Jarrah, etc. I feel like there is something fundamentally wrong about not helping them, or not taking action against apartheid.

A noninvasive brain-computer interface capable of converting a person’s thoughts into words. We need laws to protect our thoughts. The alphabet boys want to spy on our phones, email, and now, even our thoughts & brainwaves.

Semantic reconstruction of continuous language from non-invasive brain recordings - Nature Neuroscience

Tang et al. show that continuous language can be decoded from functional MRI recordings to recover the meaning of perceived and imagined speech stimuli and silent videos and that this language decoding requires subject cooperation.
