Do we need to protect ourselves from brain tracking and hacking? Do we need a right for cognitive liberty? In her groundbreaking new book, Professor Nita Farahany explores the profound ethical and legal challenges posed by emerging neurotechnologies. These innovations have the potential to reshape how we understand, influence, and define ourselves—but they also come with significant risks. In this episode, we discuss the promise and peril of neurotechnology, the urgent need for a right to cognitive liberty, and what these developments mean for our personal freedoms. Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation on the future of the mind. Season 4 of Neuroethics Today, hosted by Dr. Katherine Bassil, explores the ethical dimensions of neuroscience and neurotechnology through interviews with authors of prominent neuroethics books. Tune in!

For Tuesday's edition of “Closer Look,” we revisit Rose's conversations with Duke University professor of law and philosophy Nita Farahany and NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday host Ayesha Rascoe. First, Farahany discusses her book, “The Battle for Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology.” The book explores neurotechnology and how its continuous evolution could potentially threaten your rights to privacy, freedom of thought, and self-determination if companies have access to your brain data. Then, Rascoe discusses her book, “HBCU Made: A Celebration of the Black College Experience.” The book is a collection of essays about historically Black colleges and universities.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Imagine a world where your thoughts are no longer private – where employers, friends, and even companies can see, hack, or exploit your thinking. According to ethicist Nita Farahany, that reality is closer than you think. Nita and Bilawal discuss the rapidly advancing field of neurotechnology and its potential to completely transform our everyday lives, from tools that could help you deeply understand your health to tech that could manipulate your dreams. Nita also shares why we need to protect our "cognitive liberty" and how to exercise our rights to think freely in an age of mind-reading technology.For transcripts for The TED AI Show, visit go.ted.com/TTAIS-transcripts  

Since launching this podcast, we've covered a wide variety of privacy issues. But one topic we haven't addressed is the concept of "mental privacy." In this episode of Privacy Files, we talk to Dr. Nita Farahany about how advancements in neurotechnology are threatening to infringe on cognitive liberty. Dr. Farahany is a professor of law and philosophy at Duke University and the author of the book The Battle for your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology. With the rise of consumer wearables like watches, headphones and smart rings, and the desire to include in these wearables, sensors that record and decipher brain activity, we are quickly reaching a time where even our thoughts won't be private. Dr. Farahany calls mental privacy humanity's "last bastion of freedom." In this enlightening conversation, we discuss some disturbing scenarios for how neurotechnology can be used. From the micromanagement of employees by companies, to government surveillance, this is an episode that will make you reconsider adopting wearable technology. And as concerning as reading your thoughts might be, keep in mind that it's conceivable this technology could also be used to even alter human consciousness and thus manipulate individual behavior. A very scary topic indeed.

Imagine a world where your brain can be interrogated to learn your political beliefs, your thoughts can be used as evidence of a crime, and your own feelings can be held against you. A world where people who suffer from epilepsy receive alerts moments before a seizure, and the average person can peer into their own mind to eliminate painful memories or cure addictions. Neuroscience has already made all of this possible today, and neurotechnology will soon become the “universal controller” for all of our interactions with technology. This can benefit humanity immensely, but without safeguards, it can seriously threaten our fundamental human rights to privacy, freedom of thought, and self-determination.

Earlier this year, Elon Musk's company Neuralink successfully installed one of their brain implants in a 29 year old quadriplegic man named Noland Arbaugh. The device changed Arbaugh's life. He no longer needs a mouth stylus to control his computer or play video games. Instead, he can use his mind.The brain-computer interface that Arbaugh uses is part of an emerging field known as neurotechnology that promises to reshape the way we live. A wide range of AI empowered neurotechnologies may allow disabled people like Arbaugh to regain independence, or give us the ability to erase traumatic memories in patients suffering from PTSD.But it doesn't take great leaps to envision how these technologies could be abused as well. Law enforcement agencies in the United Arab Emirates have used neurotechnology to read the minds of criminal suspects, and convict them based on what they've found. And corporations are developing ways to advertise to potential customers in their dreams. Remarkably, both of these things appear to be legal, as there are virtually no laws explicitly governing neurotechnology.All of which makes Nita Farahany's work incredibly timely. Farahany is a professor of law and philosophy at Duke University and the author of The Battle for Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology.Farahany isn't fatalistic about neurotech – in fact, she uses some of it herself. But she is adamant that we need to start developing laws and guardrails as soon as possible, because it may not be long before governments, employers and corporations have access to our brains. Mentioned:“PRIME Study Progress Update – User Experience,” Neuralink“Paralysed man walks using device that reconnects brain with muscles,” The GuardianCognitive Warfare – NATO's ACTThe Ethics of Neurotechnology: UNESCO appoints international expert group to prepare a new global standard

In this episode of Technology and Security, Dr Miah Hammond-Errey speaks with Professor Nita Farahany about the increasing emergence of neurotechnology and what it means for national security as well as consumers, policy makers, military forces and nation states. They discuss the importance of ensuring the privacy of brain data as the ‘final piece in the jigsaw puzzle' of data collection by large technology companies. They also discuss the possibility of identifying, verifying and targeting individuals by their neural signature and why addressing this technology should be a national security priority. They explore the current and potential roles neurotechnology can play in combatting information warfare and improving cognitive resilience as well as the increasing role of AI. Finally, they highlight what to look out for in tech in 2024. Nita Farahany is a Professor of Law & Philosophy at Duke University and is a leading scholar in the ethical, legal and social implications of emerging technologies. She has consulted extensively and including advising DARPA and has testifying before Congress. Nita was on the US Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues for many years. Her latest book, The Battle for Your Brain: Defending the right to think freely in the age of neurotechnology, examines the ethical and legal challenges of emerging neurotechnology. Technology and Security is hosted by Dr Miah Hammond-Errey, the inaugural director of the Emerging Technology program at the United States Studies Centre, based at the University of Sydney. Resources mentioned in the recording:  (Nita Farahany) The Battle for Your Brain: Defending the right to think freely in the age of neurotechnology (US Department of Health and Human Services) Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues (Apple) Vision Pro  (Meta) Meta Connect Conference (Miah Hammond-Errey) Big data and national security: A guide for Australian policymakers (Miah Hammond-Errey) Big Data, Emerging Technologies and Intelligence: National Security Disrupted (Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce, December 2021) Addition of Certain Entities to the Entity List and Revision of an Entry on the Entity List (Miah Hammond-Errey) AI will shape our world – even our brains – but it can be regulated (Daniel Kahneman) Thinking, Fast and Slow Miah's Twitter: https://twitter.com/Miah_HE The USSC website: https://www.ussc.edu.au/ Making great content requires fabulous teams.

Duke University law professor Nita Farahany has written a new book about the battle for our brains.

Duke University law professor Nita Farahany has written a new book about the battle for our brains.

"It will change everything: it will change our workplaces, it will change our interactions with the government, it will change our interactions with each other. It will make all of us unwitting neuromarketing subjects at all times, because at every moment in time, when you're interacting on any platform that also has issued you a multifunctional device where they're looking at your brainwave activity, they are marketing to you, they're cognitively shaping you."So I wrote the book as both a wake-up call, but also as an agenda-setting: to say, what do we need to do, given that this is coming? And there's a lot of hope, and we should be able to reap the benefits of the technology, but how do we do that without actually ending up in this world of like, 'Oh my god, mind reading is here. Now what?'" — Nita FarahanyIn today's episode, host Luisa Rodriguez speaks to Nita Farahany — professor of law and philosophy at Duke Law School — about applications of cutting-edge neurotechnology.Links to learn more, summary, and full transcript.They cover:How close we are to actual mind reading.How hacking neural interfaces could cure depression.How companies might use neural data in the workplace — like tracking how productive you are, or using your emotional states against you in negotiations.How close we are to being able to unlock our phones by singing a song in our heads.How neurodata has been used for interrogations, and even criminal prosecutions.The possibility of linking brains to the point where you could experience exactly the same thing as another person.Military applications of this tech, including the possibility of one soldier controlling swarms of drones with their mind.And plenty more.Producer and editor: Keiran HarrisAudio Engineering Lead: Ben CordellTechnical editing: Simon Monsour and Milo McGuireAdditional content editing: Katy Moore and Luisa RodriguezTranscriptions: Katy Moore

A technological future where our brain waves could be monitored and our thoughts decoded and analyzed — sometimes against our will — is not as far away as we think. But our existing legal protections and conception of human rights around cognitive liberty are trailing innovations in neurotechnology. Brain hacking tools and devices could bring massive benefits, for people suffering from dementia or mental health disorders, for instance. If we want to avoid dystopian outcomes, though, we have to be deliberate about how we allow this technology to develop, says Nita Farahany, a bioethics researcher and professor at Duke University. In this talk, Farahany points to what we need to watch out for, and explains how to proceed carefully. With her 2023 book, “The Battle for Your Brain: Defending Your Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology,” as a guide, she explains why several major tech companies are betting big on brain data collection tools. And she urges us to build safeguards to ensure a cognitively healthy society

Nita Farahany is one of those people that I get the pleasure of interviewing that when I read her bio or hear her speak or read her stuff, I'm thinking to myself how the heck am I going to interview this person who is ten times smarter and more accomplished than I am. And that is the truth, I'm not just lowering my intelligence for the sake of this conversation or this introduction; it is how I feel. I get nervous and anxious talking to people like Nita. And so, I'm going to give you Nita's bio, and then I want you to listen to this conversation. And more than the bio and more than the information and knowledge and wisdom that she shares, what I appreciate about Nita is how down to earth she was. And I've seen her in person on stage, I've watched TED Talks, I've read her book, and I think if you're sitting back and receiving that content when she's in performance mode, it is awe inspiring. She's someone who's brilliant and shares her brilliance in an efficient, profound way, which I really struggle with. And once again, this conversation is about as authentic, genuine, real, vulnerable, as any that I've had. And so, her capacity to share her knowledge and wisdom in a setting where she's expected to do so, at a level that is just extremely high, as a world-class thinker, is incredible. And then her ability to bring it down to earth and share it with people like myself is really what I'm truly grateful for. So, here's her bio: she's a pioneering futurist and authority on laws, ethics, and technology. She's a distinguished professor of law and philosophy and founding director of Duke University's Science and Society Initiative. In her book, The Battle for Your Brain, which we discuss quite frequently in this conversation, she champions cognitive liberty, which is really at the core of today's conversation. And a lot of Nita's work is around this framework, this ideology, this thought, this concept, of cognitive liberty and how that shakes up and shows itself in a digital era, a digital environment, that we are all living in. Her insights shared from TED stages to global policy forums, guide responsible advancements in science and technology. Her background educationally: she received an AB in Genetics, Cell, and Development Biology from Dartmouth, an ALM in Biology from Harvard, a JD and MA from Duke University, as well as a PhD in Philosophy. You're going to love this conversation. We go into parenting, we go into philosophy, we go into ethics, we really run a broad range of subjects, and I love people with range, so I know you're going to love Nina too.   Nita had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “Everything gets filtered through a lens for me of kids” (8:30). “I have girls, and I [want them to see] it's okay to have a career and it's okay to have times that are about developing that career” (10:40). “I say no a lot to external opportunities, especially when my kids are young” (11:20). “For any working parent with children, we feel that struggle all the time of how do you show up for your kids in ways that are meaningful and impactful and how do you have the impact you want to have on the world, which also could change the world you're creating for them, not just at the micro level but at the macro level as well?” (12:10). “When I say that I arm myself with knowledge, that doesn't come just from books” (14:05). “A parent who thinks they know everything is quickly schooled by their children that they know nothing at all” (15:25). “The biggest thing I've had to grapple with as a parent is being less of a control freak” (16:05). “I hope my kids feel like they have the freedom to figure out who they are and what they're passionate about and know that no matter what I'm there behind them” (24:05). “Sometimes we become so comfortable in our lesson plans that we forget what we're trying to teach” (26:15). “Ultimately what we're trying to teach is people thinking freely so they can navigate the world” (27:05). “Cognitive liberty is the right to self-determination over our brain's mental experiences” (29:45). “The ability to have an inner monologue, a space of mental reprieve, a place where you can figure out who you are or what you like or don't like or choose what you share with people or don't share with people, I think matters so much more to people than they really realize” (35:40). “Your right to cognitive liberty should be what governs your choices, not somebody else making the choices about what your brain and mental experiences will look like and feel like and be shaped by without any input that you might have otherwise” (38:20). “Choosing to erase a memory has consequences, and those consequences include developing the resilience to overcome a breakup and to learn from it, to incorporate and understand and refine what it is that you're looking for and to learn from your mistakes and to learn from your hurt and to learn that you can survive heartache and that you're strong enough to get through each of those things” (42:10). “To enable advances in mental health more generally, we need to give people the tools and techniques to be able to see into themselves much better” (49:50). “If we want humans to emerge from the digital age both having any capacity for freedom of thought and also any capacity to flourish, we have to realign technology with human values” (55:55). “What we're doing all day every day is developing a theory of mind of other people and trying to persuade them” (1:00:40). “Modern technology is being designed to have you check out” (1:01:45). “Every person when you peel back the layers, I think has an interesting set of complexities” (1:08:30). “My legacy I hope for people is to be able to think freely in an era in which if we don't it could go disastrously badly for us, for our children, for the human species, for the planet” (1:10:00).   Additionally, you can purchase Nita's book, The Battle for Your Brain, anywhere books are sold. You can also check out Nita's website and follow her on Twitter and LinkedIn. Lastly, I'd encourage you to watch Nita's most recent TED Talk. Thank you so much to Nita for coming on the podcast!

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 are on the cusp of an explosion of cheap,  consumer-ready neurotechnology - from earbuds that gather our behavioral data,  to sensors that can read our dreams. And it's all going to be supercharged by AI. This technology is moving from niche to mainstream - and it has the same potential to become exponential. Legal scholar Nita Farahany talks us through the current state of neurotechnology and its deep links to AI. She says that we urgently need to protect the last frontier of privacy: our internal thoughts. And she argues that without a new legal framework around “cognitive liberty,” we won't be able to insulate our brains from corporate and government intrusion.RECOMMENDED MEDIA The Battle for Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology by Nita FarahanyThe Battle for Your Brain offers a path forward to navigate the complex dilemmas that will fundamentally impact our freedom to understand, shape, and define ourselvesComputer Program Reveals What Neurons in the Visual Cortex Prefer to Look AtA study of macaque monkeys at Harvard generated valuable clues based on an artificial intelligence system that can reliably determine what neurons in the brain's visual cortex prefer to seeUnderstanding Media: The Extensions of Man by Marshall McLuhanAn influential work by a fixture in media discourseRECOMMENDED YUA EPISODES The Three Rules of Humane TechTalking With Animals… Using AIHow to Free Our Minds with Cult Deprogramming Expert Dr. Steven HassanYour Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.

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.

In this episode we bring you our event ‘The Battle for Your Brain', recorded on the 2nd of May 2023. Imagine a world where people who suffer from epilepsy receive alerts moments before a seizure, where the average person can peer into their own mind to eliminate painful memories and we can easily cure addictions. This is also a world where your brain could be interrogated to learn your political beliefs, your thoughts can be used as evidence of a crime, and your own feelings can be held against you.  One of the world's foremost experts on the ethics of neuroscience, Professor Nita Farahany claims that neuroscience has already made all of this possible today, and neurotechnology will soon become the ‘universal controller' for all of our interactions with technology. According to Farahany, the growth of commercial neurotechnology could be of immense benefit to humanity, but without safeguards, it could seriously threaten our fundamental human rights to privacy, freedom of thought and self-determination.  With our host Research Director for the Centre for the Analysis of Social Media at the think tank Demos, Carl Miller, Farahany offers a path forward to navigate the complex legal and ethical dilemmas that will fundamentally impact our freedom to understand and define ourselves.

In the not too distant future, we could all be wearing wearables that scan our brain waves, understanding how we feel, think and act. Before then, author Nita Farahany argues that we need to rethink our rules to privacy to include our brains. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On the show this week we talk to Nita A. Farahany, distinguished professor of law and philosophy at Duke University and the founding director of the Duke Initiative for Science & Society, about her new book, "The Battle for Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology."Many people choose to give up unprecedented levels of privacy in exchange for convenience. So why not give up your brain data too? Is it really that different? While the proposition may seem analogous, and despite how it's often presented, says Farahany, what could get decoded from your brain is a very different thing.“Everybody has something to hide when it comes to what's in their brain. Not in the sense of like, you're thinking about committing some horrible crime. But it is the space where you work out everything. And if you don't have that space to work out everything, suddenly what it means to be human is fundamentally different.”https://inquiring.show/episodes/400-the-perilous-combination-of-brain-wave-data-and-generative-ai

What is “cheating” in the era of generative AI and cognitive enhancers? What rights do we have against institutional misuse of AI and nanotechnology? These technologies have permeated everything from criminal justice to the future of work – and without proper safeguards, they have the power to wreak havoc on our fundamental human rights to privacy, freedom of thought, and self-determination. Former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, podcast host, and author Preet Bharara (Doing Justice) talks with futurist and legal ethicist Nita Farahany (The Battle for Your Brain) about these questions, and how we can navigate the complex legal and ethical dilemmas that lie ahead. They also discuss the charges against former President Donald Trump. This program was recorded at the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco on April 6, 2023.

Guest host Sigal Samuel talks with professor of philosophy and law Nita Farahany about her new book The Battle for Your Brain. In it, Farahany details the new brain-scanning tech that has already arrived, and the risks this poses to our privacy and freedom of thought. Sigal and Nita discuss what this technology can currently do (and what it can't), how new devices might be used by corporations or governments to infringe on our rights, and the prospect of using new technologies to rid ourselves of painful or traumatic memories — even, potentially, before they've been formed.

Consensus Gentium is took him the Grand Jury prize for SXSW Immersive 2023, and it's the most immersive phone-based experience that I've ever had. The Latin title translated means that “If everyone believes it, it must be true,” and it's a near-term speculative sci-fi piece that explores what China's social scoring system might look like in the context of the United States where mobility is restricted by algorithms but can be expanding if citizens agree to be surveilled by a phone app. The experience shifts automatically shifts between mobile app videos onboarding you into a surveillance state juxtaposed with Facetime calls where your face appears in the lower right corner, and text messages are seamlessly popping throughout the experience as you jump in between different tasks and cut scenes that build up the world and immerse you deeper into what director Karen Palmer describes as a “reality simulator” that feels entirely plausible near future. The piece is also tagged with the logline of “the film that watches you back” as it integrates facial tracking technologies and an eye gaze mechanic that allows you make a few conscious and unconscious choices throughout the piece. Some of the themes of the piece are around algorithmic bias in facial detection algorithms and how that impacts marginalized communities (and why the EU's AI Act bans facial detection in certain contexts like police enforcement). It also explores agency, self-determination, and biometric threats to freedom of thought as you are scored on a spectrum between how compliant you are to the state versus any deviant or resistant behaviors. Overall, using the multi-channel communication affordances of the phone is able to create an entirely plausible portal into this near-future world that Palmer is creating for us which I found deeply, deeply immersive. It's no wonder that this piece took home the top prize as the SXSW jurors seemed to agree with that sentiment, while this piece also presciently covers many relevant topics around AI, bias, and threats to our cognitive liberty — notably I spoke to Palmer on the same day that Nita Farahany's book officially released titled The Battle for Your Brain, which I had a chance to unpack with Farahany ahead of SXSW.

Last week, Gus lamented not sharing the Harvard Business Review report with Nita Farahany about her book, The Battle for Your Brain, which examines how 21st century technology is being used to harvest data about our brain computers. Farahany places special emphasis on how this tech is being used in the workplace - to screen potential employees and/or to monitor the conduct of current workers. We also share tips for non-white supervisors. #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Today's episode is all about tech. First, Paul Scharre of the Center for a New American Security speaks with NPR's Ari Shapiro about his new book, Four Battlegrounds: Power in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, and the ways autocratic governments can rely on AI for repressive surveillance tactics. Then, Duke University professor Nita Farahany and NPR's Ailsa Chang discuss a potential nightmare: employers' ability to track worker's brains for productivity. Farahany's new book, The Battle for Your Brain, tracks advancements in neurotechnology and advocates for cognitive liberty.

In this episode of The Duke Law Podcast, Professor Nita Farahany, director of Duke Science & Society, discusses her new book, "The Battle for Your Brain," and her argument for a codified right to cognitive liberty with Clinical Professor Jeff Ward, director of the Duke Center on Law & Tech. Speakers: Duke Law Professor Nita Farahany at https://law.duke.edu/fac/farahany/, https://twitter.com/NitaFarahany, and https://www.nitafarahany.com/).

Her new book takes a deep dive into neurotechnology – the ability to read and record your brain waves. While there are many potential benefits – Nita herself uses a simple device to help control her migraines – she is alarmed at the prospect of others, be they employers or governments, being able to peer into your mind.

What seemed like science fiction for decades is now a reality: companies are selling wearable tech and monitoring devices that can sense people's brain activity. Neurotechnology opens incredible opportunities for new products and safer workplaces. It also raises huge red flags for privacy and ethics. And managers and organizational leaders are on the front lines of these dilemmas, says Duke University School of Law professor Nita Farahany. She explains the commercial products based on neurotechnology, the impact on workers and organizations, and the need for regulations and corporate policies. Farahany wrote the book The Battle for Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology.

My guest today is Nita Farahany. Nita is a professor of Law and Philosophy at Duke Law School. She is the founding director of the Duke Science and Society. She is the faculty chair of the Duke MA in Bioethics and Science Policy and Principal Investigator at slap lab. In 2010, she was appointed by President Obama to the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues where she served until 2017. She's an appointed Member of the National Advisory Council for the National Institute for Neurological Disease and Stroke and she is a past president of the International Neuroethics Society. This is only a small slice of her bio. The topic of this conversation is mind reading, and I don't mean trying to guess what's in somebody's head. I mean actual technology that scans your brain and reliably conveys what you are thinking or feeling. Now, this seemed like science fiction to me, but Nita convinced me in this conversation that this technology is already here, and there are a host of ethical questions relating to privacy and other things. Nita and I talk about how EEG scans can give us information about our minds. We talk about the relationship between EEG scans and classical questions in the philosophy of mind, such as consciousness, as well as free will. We talk about the uses of mind-reading technology in criminal investigations, which has already happened. We talk about the current uses of mind-reading tech in Chinese factories. And yes, that is already happening too. We talk about tattoos that can pick up your brain activity. And once again, that already exists. We talk about the combination of artificial intelligence and mind-reading tech and what that promises for the future. We talk about whether excellent liars would be able to pass mind-reading technology. We also talk about how mind-reading tech has even been used to tell whether couples are in love. I really hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hackers who could install brain spyware into the apps and devices we're using. Advertisers that could interface with our minds to know the products we crave, even before we do. It won't all happen tomorrow, but Duke law professor Nita Farahany says we're rapidly heading toward a world in which scientists, governments and corporations can peer into our brains and minds. We learn about the neurotechnology that calls to mind scenes from the “Minority Report” and hear why Farahany thinks we need to establish and protect our cognitive liberty. Her new book is “The Battle for Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology.” Guests: Nita Farahany, professor of law and philosophy, Duke University; author, "The Battle For Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology"

What We Discuss with Nita Farahany: Consumer technology that can track, decode, and even manipulate what goes on in the brain is no longer just a plot device in some far-flung sci-fi novel — it's already beginning to come to market. An ALS patient recently set a record for communicating through a brain implant at 62 words per minute (in comparison, ALS-afflicted physicist Stephen Hawking was only able to communicate at about 15 words per minute by the time of his death in 2018). Though still in its infancy, consciously transmitted brain-to-brain communication has proven successful in the laboratory. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans can accurately sense political bias from subjects' unconscious thoughts. Brain scans reveal that a significant percentage of coma patients who can't speak or move are aware of the world around them and can communicate through electroencephalogram (EEG) sensors.

Now is the moment to extend human rights to encompass cognitive rights proposes Duke Law School's Professor Nita A. Farahany in her just-published book The Battle for Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Clearly in the Age of Neurotechnologies. She introduces the vast array of devices already deployed that can sample various forms of brain activity. In her book and in this far-reaching Artificial Intelligence & Equality podcast with Carnegie-Uehiro Fellow Wendell Wallach, Farahany outlines how even limited cognitive information collected by neurotechnologies can be combined with other data to enhance self-understanding or manipulate your attitudes or state of mind.

Every time our brain does some thinking, there are associated physical processes. In particular, electric currents and charged particles jump between neurons, creating associated electromagnetic fields. These fields can in principle be detected with proper technology, opening the possibility for reading your mind. That technology is currently primitive, but rapidly advancing, and it's not too early to start thinking about legal and ethical consequences when governments and corporations have access to your thoughts. Nita Farahany is a law professor and bioethicist who discusses these issues in her new book, The Battle for Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Nita Farahany received a J.D. and a Ph.D. in philosophy from Duke University.

Nita Farahany argues that we need to establish a new human right of Cognitive Liberty in order to address the threats of Neurotech like VR, AR, BCIs, & non-invasive neural interfaces in her new book Battle for the Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology (releasing on March 14th). Cognitive Liberty is a umbrella term that includes a complex of other human rights including mental privacy, freedom of thought, and self-determination, but clearly defining this novel concept of cognitive liberty will hopefully provide a pathway for creating the philosophical, legal, and ethical foundations to create viable regulations around these new forms of sensitive brain data, physiological data, and biometric data as well as the inferences that can be made from it. Farahany's book is a tour de force of scholarship that is not only catching everyone up on the last decade's worth of neurotechnology research and enterprise industry developments, and it was actually Meta's acquisition of CTRL-Labs & their wrist-based EMG interface into VR and AR (see my previous coverage in episodes #814 & #987) that was a catalyst for her to write this book as we're on the threshold of these neurotechnologies starting to be deployed at a much broader consumer scale. She does a comprehensive audit of both the promises and perils of these neurotech applications across multiple contexts in order to develop of the novel concept of a new human right of Cognitive Liberty and it's associated rights in order to address the threats from these technologies.

Legal Issues Concerning Covid-19 | C-Level With Amanda Farahany I think one of the biggest things too is communication. You know its communication. The employer and the employee need to be in constant communication of everything that's going on because it's you've got two sides here right and everybody's trying to figure this out but I think communication is the absolute biggest key especially when we are slowly bringing the country back to normal. So on today's episode a C-Level I'm excited to have Amanda Farahany managing partner of Barrett and Farahany and today we're gonna be talking a lot about the legal issues surrounding Covid. What to know as an employer and what to know as an employee. So Amanda welcome. - Thank you, glad to be here. So Amanda tell me... I'm really big on people's backgrounds. Tell me where are you from? How'd you get started? How'd you get started into law? That type of thing. - Hh I'm from Charlotte, North Carolina. I was just there this last week and getting to visit my parents which was nice. Definitely drove, this way even out of my home so yeah this was a big deal. I got to see them, which was nice and my sister has a baby who's 6-months old and this is the first time I got to meet her so a lot of exciting things there. I got into law really because I met somebody who I thought was super cool and was a lawyer and when I was 14 and he traveled the world and I love to travel and that was it. That was why I chose to become a lawyer.

Tech that can decode your brain activity and reveal what you're thinking and feeling is on the horizon, says legal scholar and ethicist Nita Farahany. What will it mean for our already violated sense of privacy? In a cautionary talk, Farahany warns of a society where people are arrested for merely thinking about committing a crime (like in "Minority Report") and private interests sell our brain data -- and makes the case for a right to cognitive liberty that protects our freedom of thought and self-determination.

법률학자이자 윤리학자인 니타 파라하니는 우리의 두뇌 활동을 해독하여 우리의 생각과 느낌을 알아낼 수 있는 과학 기술이 곧 생길 것이라고 말한다. 그것은 우리 개인정보가 이미 침해당하고 있음을 의미하는 걸까요? 미래를 경고하는 이 강연에서 파라하니는 사람들이 (영화 '마이너리티 리포트'에서처럼) 범행을 생각하는 것만으로 체포되고 사기업들이 우리의두뇌 정보를 판매하는 사회에 대해 경고하고, 우리의 사상의 자유와 자기 결정의 자유를 보호해 줄 인지 자유의 권리를 주장합니다.

Nita Farahany, juriste et éthicienne, nous indique qu'une technologie capable de décoder l'activité de notre cerveau et de révéler nos pensées et nos sentiments est en train d'émerger. Qu'est-ce que cela signifie pour le respect de notre vie privé déjà maintes fois mis à mal ? Nita Farahany nous met en garde contre une société dans laquelle les gens sont arrêtés pour avoir simplement imaginé commettre un crime (comme dans « Rapport Minoritaire »), et dans laquelle des intérêts privés peuvent vendre nos données cérébrales. Elle insiste sur la nécessité et le bien-fondé d'un Droit à la Liberté cognitive qui protège notre liberté de penser et de disposer de nous-mêmes.

A tecnologia que pode decodificar sua atividade cerebral e revelar o que você está pensando e sentindo está chegando, diz a especialista em direito e ética Nita Farahany. O que isso significará para o nosso senso de privacidade já violado? Em uma palestra de advertência, Farahany alerta sobre uma sociedade em que as pessoas são presas por apenas pensar em cometer um crime (como em "Minority Report - A Nova Lei") e interesses privados vendem nossos dados cerebrais - e defende o direito à liberdade cognitiva que protege nossa liberdade de pensamento e autodeterminação.

La tecnología puede decodificar su actividad cerebral y revelar lo que está pensando y poner nuestros sentimientos a la vista, afirma la académica legal y experta en ética Nita Farahany. ¿Qué significaría esto para nuestro ya violado sentido de la intimidad? En una conferencia de advertencia, Farahany nos advierte de una sociedad en la que la gente es arrestada solo por pensar en cometer un crimen (como en "Minority Report") y en la que los intereses privados venden nuestra información mental, y argumenta el derecho a la libertad cognitiva que protege nuestra libertad de pensamiento y autodeterminación.

Amanda Farahany, Managing Partner at Barrett & Farahany to discuss NDAs by Dana Barrett

The discussion of "designer babies" often revolves around gender or hair color, but as Nita Farahany and Marcy Darnovsky explore, the medical debate is far more complicated. Farahany is Professor of Law and Philosophy, Director of Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy, Duke University; Member, Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues. Should we screen embryos for disease? Should we make genetic modifications? These considerations raise ethical concerns and call into question the validity of surrounding research. The lack of regulation and oversight make this particular biotechnology frightening to some, while the potential for disease eradicating techniques excites others. But how far is too far? What are the major scientific and ethical hurdles to assuage the skeptics? Marcy Darnovsky is the executive director of the Center for Genetics and Society. Nita Farahany is professor of Law and Philosophy and director of the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy at Duke University. She is a member of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues.

Emerging technologies for accessing and altering the brain impacts our freedom to understand, shape, and define ourselves. Voluntarily choosing to take a performance-enhancing drug is quite different from being forcibly administered it. Adding brain-training games to our daily routines differs from being bombarded by deceptive marketing practices. Voluntarily confessing criminal activity to the police dramatically differs from having brain-encoded memories surreptitiously lifted from the brain. These differences are crucial to how we define and ultimately defend cognitive liberty. Nita A. Farahany

Professor Nita Farahany, Professor of Law & Philosophy at Duke Law School, presents several of the more salient issues that arise from the intersection of law and neuroscience. Recent scientific progress has dramatically advanced our understanding of the biological, neurological and environmental contributions to normal and deviant human behavior. Behavioral scientists have moved beyond purely descriptive scientific accounts to predictive ones by linking genetic and neurological variations to behavioral variations in the population. Dr. Farahany discusses the first comprehensive empirical study on the use of neuroscience in the U.S. criminal justice system.
