What did Chile's Supreme Court order in the first case brought under the neurorights amendment?
In August 2023 the court ruled against Emotiv, a maker of consumer EEG headsets, in a case brought by a user of its Insight device, and ordered the company to delete the brain data it had collected from him. It found the company's practices incompatible with the new constitutional protection of brain activity, questioned whether accepting terms of service to use a purchased device is free consent, and held that using data for research requires specific consent naming that research. The ruling showed the amendment applying to an ordinary consumer product, years before any device could read thoughts.
