Every method close enough to read single neurons also acts on them: electrodes provoke a tissue response, light heats, and recordings used for feedback train the brain that produces them, as users of a brain-computer interface learn to drive its decoder.

When does measuring a brain become changing it, and which proposed right covers that?

Every method close enough to read single neurons also acts on them: electrodes provoke a tissue response, light heats, and recordings used for feedback train the brain that produces them, as users of a brain-computer interface learn to drive its decoder. The proposed right to mental integrity, in the framework of Ienca and Andorno, protects against harmful interference with a person's neural processes, and the right to psychological continuity protects their sense of identity from changes they did not agree to. Applied to implants, these rights ask that the effects of the device on the brain, intended or side effects, be known, disclosed and reversible where possible.
