A new dawn of brain tracking and hacking i s coming. Will you be prepared for what comes next? Imagine a world where y our brain can be interrogated to learn your political beliefs\, your though ts can be used as evidence of a crime\, and your own feelings can be held a gainst you. A world where people who suffer from epilepsy receive alerts mo ments before a seizure\, and the average person can peer into their own min d to eliminate painful memories or cure addictions. Neuroscience has alread y made all of this possible today\, and neurotechnology will soon become th e “universal controller” for all of our interactions with technology. This can benefit humanity immensely\, but without safeguards\, it can seriously threaten our fundamental human rights to privacy\, freedom of thought\, and self-determination. From one of the world’s foremost experts on the ethics of neuroscience\, The Battle for Your Brain offers a path forward to navigate the complex legal and ethical dilemmas that will fundamentally impact our freedom to understand\, shape\, and define ourselves. In this e vent\, author and Duke Law Professor Nita Farahany will di scuss her new book in conversation with Harvard Medical School and Harvard Law School faculty member Dr. Francis Shen.
