Description

Who owns your brain?Brain tech is here.Headbands track your focus. Stick-on “e-tattoos” read stress in real time. Neuralink implants are already in people.But the law is only now catching up.Chile has written neurorights into its Constitution. Colorado and California have declared brain-wave data “sensitive.” The EU bans emotion recognition in workplaces and schools.Still—outside the clinic, your brain data is often treated like shopping history, not sacred self. And that raises a bigger, more urgent question: If your thoughts can be recorded, who owns the master? You… or the system?In this episode of Deeply Unqualified, I explore:• The rise of consumer neurotech—headbands, tattoos, and headphones that read the mind• Why brain scans aren’t as anonymous as you think• How laws in Chile, the U.S., and Europe are drawing the first battle lines• What “neurorights” really mean for the future of privacy and identityAnd maybe the new rule we need is simple: My brain. My rules.PODCAST INFO: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NeurosurgeryTalesPodcastSOCIAL: - TikTok: @neurosurgery.tale- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neurosurgery_tales/- Patreon: https://patreon.com/AurelianaToma
