Nita Farahany discusses how our thoughts and feelings are closer than ever to being hacked and tracked, and in what ways we can shape new legal and ethical frameworks to tackle this uncharted territory in human existence.

A Professor of Law and Philosophy at Duke Law School, Farahany explains to The InnerView how artificial intelligence, virtual reality and innovation in neurotechnology have created an urgent need for a universal commitment to the individual’s cognitive liberty, and the dystopian implications if we do not.

Her latest book is The Battle for Your Brain: Defending the Right to Think Freely in the Age of Neurotechnology.
