Some thoughts reading Battle for Your Brain by Nita A Farahany

 So I didn't think of Neurosurveilance or Mind Reading along these lines, but Nita A Farahany says that the FDA is likely going to regulate neurotechnology that provides data for individual users on the market and may classify them as class 3 or something. Anyways Farahany writes that once this technology develops and comes to market, that individuals should have a "right to know" what they think in their head or what their brain does. And while I think this author maybe is trying to pave the way for mental reception to this tech, I can see how people should have a right to know what their brain does. When I am experimented on with the street theatre drama skits and other things, on some level people are informing me of my thoughts, while perhaps distorting them much of the time. So ok, sure, I could see how as a subject of this experiment, I've grown accustomed to knowing thoughts not readily discernable or memorably significant in my moment to moment living recollection and on some level I could see wanting to possibly know what my brain activity records via an AI mind reader, such as how it reacts or the data of its reaction to eating avocados or too little or too much exercise or eating sugar etc. And Im not sure id like this or if it would be a net benefit. But I will say I don't like others having the right to my thoughts.
