Description

Understanding brain data has become increasingly important as emerging trends in neuroscience make mental activity legible through sophisticated processing of signals recorded from the brain. This development has significant implications for concepts of the brain, the self, and the mind, as well as clinical practices like psychiatry.

The collection and use of brain data raise complex questions about ownership, leaks, and misuse, with high stakes when it concerns our own brains. A comprehensive account of 'brain data' is needed to navigate these issues, which is where this book comes in. It brings together philosophical analysis and neuroscientific insights to provide a clear understanding of what brain data is, how it's used, and how we should handle it.

By clarifying the complex intersections of philosophical and neuroscientific interest, this book aims to open up new spaces for evaluating practices based on brain data. This has important implications for personal, socio-political, and public health dimensions, making it essential to understand their real-world consequences.
