Psychology Today piece on "Cognitive Selfhood and the Last Human Right" explores how brain-computer interfaces and neural tech are creating a new frontier for human rights. The core argument: as we gain the ability to read, write, and modify neural states, cognitive liberty becomes the final essential human right. We're talking about protecting the sanctity of your internal mental processes from external manipulation or surveillance—whether corporate, governmental, or algorithmic. This isn't sci-fi anymore. With companies like Neuralink pushing direct neural interfaces and AI systems capable of predicting thoughts from brain activity patterns, the legal and ethical frameworks are dangerously behind. The piece argues we need constitutional-level protections for mental privacy and cognitive autonomy before the tech outpaces our ability to defend it. Think GDPR but for your literal thoughts.
