Biometric and genetic privacy bills emerged in Hawaii and Montana on Wednesday.
Neural Privacy
Neural privacy addresses how brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and neurotechnology handle data from brain activity, emotional responses, and cognitive patterns. As devices begin decoding neural signals, questions around consent, biometric protection, and surveillance are moving to the forefront of privacy law. Regulators are considering whether neural data should be treated like biometric identifiers under laws such as BIPA or GDPR. This page covers emerging legal frameworks, technological developments, and policy proposals defining privacy rights in the neuroscience space.
Search Primer
Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.
Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").
Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.
Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).
Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).
Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").
Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").
