Onze hersenen zijn het laatste stukje echte privacy dat we hebben.
In de VS nemen staten als Colorado, Californië en Montana al maatregelen om hersendata te beschermen. Maar wat willen wij hier in Europa?
Daarom is bewustwording zo belangrijk. Als we nu niet nadenken over regels en rechten, lopen we het risico dat bedrijven de sleutel tot ons hersendata in handen krijgen.
Hoe zie jij de toekomst van mentale privacy?
Een artikel van Yale University stelt dat de huidige wetgeving voor BCI’s niet meer voldoet. Er zijn 18 aanbevelingen:
- Veilige updates, dataversleuteling en respect voor autonomie van de patiënt.
- Bescherming van neurorechten zoals psychologische continuïteit, nieuwe regels rond privacy en strafrecht, en het beperken van “enhancement” toepassingen.
Moeten we breindata dezelfde bescherming geven als organen?
Breinkraak: de volgende stap na een datalek?
Hackersgroep Nova stal medische gegevens van bijna een half miljoen Nederlanders. Vandaag zijn het medische dossiers… morgen misschien je hersendata.
BCI’s en neurotech beloven veel goeds, maar registreren ook emoties en intenties. Wat als dat ook uitlekt?
Privacy stopt niet bij je dossier. Het begint in je hoofd.
“The End of Mental Privacy”
A new law in California protects consumers’ brain data. Some think it doesn’t go far enough
The bill defines neural data as “information that is generated by measuring the activity of a consumer’s central or peripheral nervous system, and that is not inferred from nonneural information.” In other words, data collected from a person’s brain or nerves.

Consumer privacy: sensitive personal information: neural data.
A new law in California protects consumers’ brain data.
California’s recent recognition of neural data under its privacy law is a crucial step in protecting our mental privacy. With neurotechnology advancing, devices that track brain activity are becoming widely accessible, from healthcare tools to workplace monitoring. However, as researchers point out, this law may leave critical loopholes, particularly around inferred data, raising ethical concerns. We must broaden the definition of neural data to safeguard our most private thoughts and preferences in the age of neurotech.
Some excerpts:
The bill defines neural data as “information that is generated by measuring the activity of a consumer’s central or peripheral nervous system, and that is not inferred from nonneural information.” In other words, data collected from a person’s brain or nerves.
Cognitive biometrics —Physiological and behavioral information along with brain data—in other words, pretty much anything that could be picked up by biosensors and used to infer a person’s mental state.
After all, it’s not just your brain activity that gives away how you’re feeling. An uptick in heart rate might indicate excitement or stress, for example. Eye-tracking devices might help give away your intentions, such as a choice you’re likely to make or a product you might opt to buy. These kinds of data are already being used to reveal information that might otherwise be extremely private.
Mental Privacy—“By choosing whether, when, and how to share their cognitive biometric data, individuals can contribute to advancements in technology and medicine while maintaining control over their personal information.”
The #Brain, the last frontier
Neurotechnology is advancing so fast that it threatens human rights and requires global regulation, according to the UN’s scientific and cultural organisation.
“When you add #AI, you are putting neurotechnology on steroids,” said Mariagrazia Squicciarini, lead author of a Unesco report on the rapid pace of innovation in #neurotechnology
“researchers have decoded speech and images from the brains of human volunteers”

In the age of AI, socially interactive agents and social robotics, mental privacy has become an important topic to think about for everyone who builds tech products, today.
