About the event
About the book:
In "The Battle for Your Brain" (2023), Nita Farahany investigates the legal and ethical implications of the rapid advancement of neurotechnology and the ubiquitization of brain-computer interfaces. At the core of our discussion will be the book's central question: what is "cognitive liberty" and should it be recognized as a fundamental human right in times where our innermost thoughts may no longer be private?
