Meninges as Last Privacy Barrier
Neuroimaging used to study aspects of personality & intelligence.
Use of neuroimaging to elicit psychological information is already possible, but to limited extent
Neuroprivacy is privacy of mental and cerebral functioning elicited by brain imaging & other neurodiagnostic techniques
Some researchers claim to discern certain unconscious preferences or to detect deception based on neuroimaging

Neurotechnology:
to access, manipulate & control neuropsychiatric structures & functions for
national defense or military objective
to identify political & military threats to neuropsychiatric information & function
to preserve integrity of neuropsychiatric information & function

Military Neuroenhancement
Uniform Code of Military Justice: no autonomy to decline enhancement
NeuroRx to reduce fatigue and enhance alertness
Brain-computer interfaces for controlling vehicles; detecting battlefield dangers; operating
exoskeletons
National Security I

Military Neuromodulation
Portable neurotech to detect neuro processes & feed information to in-helmet transcranial magnetic
stimulation to suppress or enhance brain function

Neurointerrogation
Are there cognitive liberty limits to use of neurotech in these situations?
Neurotech also being marketed for advertising, insurance fraud, and criminal
justice, e.g., fMRI-based lie detection services
Neurotech and neuroRx being investigated for lie detection; e.g., EEG ‘brain
fingerprinting’ to confirm deception

Neuroprivacy
No law for cognitive liberty, neuroprivacy, neurosecurity in
medicine, national security, employment, insurance, etc.
Inadequate legal framework to protect privacy of brain imaging
data & interpretation
No case law holdings on neuroprivacy

What kind of legal infrastructure is needed to receive, nurture, and regulate positively disruptive technologies?
Law that Anticipates
Law that Thinks Ahead
Page 28
MEDICAL NEUROSECURITY: Require cyberprotection and Preemptive design
MEDICAL NEUROSECURITY: Require hardware to software life cycle matching
MEDICAL NEUROSECURITY: Create international cybersecurity standards
NEUROENHANCEMENT: Regulation |Children | Enforceability | Criminalization
DEFENSE NEUROSECURITY: Neurotech R&D | Neurotech global surveillance
DEFENSE NEUROSECURITY: Transparent preparation, resilience, preemption
DEFENSE NEUROSECURITY: Policies and laws sensitive ethical issues
DEFENSE NEUROSECURITY: Create criteria for neurotech interrogations
Positive Legal Infrastructure Principles
