This paper analyzes a Chilean Supreme Court ruling on the protection of brain activity, specifically concerning neurodata collected by Emotiv Inc.'s "Insight" device. The court grappled with whether neurodata constitutes personal data and whether existing data protection laws are sufficient. The authors argue that current regulations are inadequate, highlighting the unique characteristics of neurodata and the potential risks to privacy and human dignity. They advocate for a broader framework encompassing "neurorights," which extends beyond data protection to address the specific ethical and legal challenges posed by neurotechnologies.
