Freedom of thought, Neurotechnology, Neurorights, Fundamental RightsResumo
This work analyzes the threats neurotechnologies can pose to protecting freedom of thought as a fundamental right and a right of psychic and intellectual integrity. Neurotechnologies have made it possible to advance knowledge about brain information, and continuous technological advances have led to a better quality of life for people with neurological diseases. This field of expertise and innovation has produced new treatments for various disorders. This revolution, however, implies a brain-machine relationship that allows access to profoundly private information since the brain is the last frontier of privacy. In this sense, this article reflects on the risks that implanted neural devices and invasive neurotechnologies may pose to fundamental human rights. It concludes that creating a new category of neurological rights, enshrined in the Federal Constitution, is essential to face the coming scenario.
