We can read your mind: freedom of thought and law in the age of neurotechnology
Abstract
El desarrollo de la neurociencia y la neurotecnología podría haber hecho sentir su presencia en el Derecho. En primer lugar, la neurotecnología, como lo hace la neurociencia en general, abre nuevos dilemas para los derechos humanos y específicamente para el derecho a la libertad de pensamiento. El desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías les permitirá acceder y leer los pensamientos individuales. El término apropiado de neurotecnología se refiere no solo al registro directo de la actividad cerebral humana o la modificación directa de la actividad cerebral, sino también al acceso a la actividad cerebral del individuo. Por ejemplo, una interfaz cerebro-computadora (BCI) es un sistema basado en computadora que adquiere señales cerebrales, las analiza y las traduce en comandos que se transmiten a un dispositivo de salida para llevar a cabo una acción deseada.
The development of neuroscience and neurotechnology could has made its presence felt in Law. Firstly, neurotechnology, as neuroscience in general does, opens new dilemmas for human rights and specifically for right to freedom of thoughts. The development of new technologies will make them able to access and read the individual thoughts. The proper term of neurotechnology refers not only to direct recording of the human brain activity or direct modification of brain activity, but also to have access to the individual’s brain activity. For instance, a brain-computer interface (BCI) is a computer-based system that acquires brain signals, analyzes them, and translates them into commands that are relayed to an output device to carry out a desired action.
