The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) published a very interesting article about neurodata and neurotechnology, and its effects on privacy and protection of personal data.

Recent advances in neuro-technology and artificial intelligence are enabling the emergence of a growing number of connected devices that monitor brain activity for different purposes.

Braindata or neurodata could identify individuals, infer emotional states, thoughts, or feelings, and reveal other special categories of data. Interested how this might affect your company? Read the full article by AEPD here.
