Is your brain still yours? More and more smart technologies that measure your brain waves are upcoming. With the help of these “neurotechnologies” you can improve your concentration, for example, but data collection is also penetrating ever deeper into your thinking. What will it mean for our mental privacy, freedom of choice and personal identity if technology gains access to our brainwaves? Philosopher Pim Haselager, artist Roel Heremans and I discussed whether our brains should be protected from the consequences of neurotechnologies. |
