• Resumen

  • Cascio discusses whether a new era of neurotech mean your mind needs its own legal rights. He said advances in neurotechnology offer the potential for precise observation, collection and even alteration of brain activity. Emerging cognitive tools, such as brain-computer interfaces, could bring big advances in medicine and understanding behavior. Humans have manipulated brains for centuries--from caffeine to meditation and even advertising--and they have legal and socially acceptable tools for this. But cognitive manipulation, once a kind of alchemy, is giving way to a much more technological approach.
