# Neurotechnology and the Battle for Your Brain ## Overview **Authors:** Farahany, Nina. A **Publication Date:** 17 June 2023 **Link:** **Keywords:** Neurotechnology ethics, BCI ethics, neuroethics and AI, cognitive liberty, brain data science, human augmentation ethics, neural implants and ethical issues **Type:** Video ## Summary Imagine a world where epilepsy warnings arrive before seizures, painful memories can be erased, and addiction is easily cured. Yet, this same technology could expose political beliefs, use thoughts as evidence, and turn feelings against you. Neuroscience has already made this possible, and neurotechnology is poised to become the ultimate interface between mind and machine. But without safeguards, it threatens privacy, freedom of thought, and self-determination. Join Professor Nita Farahany as she explores the legal and ethical dilemmas of this rapidly advancing field—and what’s at stake for our fundamental rights. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
