Description
A new era of brain tracking and hacking is unfolding. This could be a world where your thoughts are scrutinised to reveal your beliefs, your feelings can be used against you, and your own mind can be manipulated to alter memories or cure addictions. Neuroscience has already made such advancements possible today, but neurotechnology will soon become the dominant force in our interactions with technology. This raises complex legal and ethical dilemmas that threaten our fundamental human rights to privacy, freedom of thought, and self-determination. The Battle for Your Brain offers a path forward to navigate these challenges, drawing on expertise from one of the world's leading authorities on the ethics of neuroscience.
