Neurotechnologies represent both an extraordinary opportunity for our intellectual capacities and a risk for the security, privacy, autonomy and integrity of our minds and cognitive acts. Therefore, it is very important to find legal protection for the mind and its contents, that is, to recognise as an individual and social value the integrity of cognitive processes linked, or not, to the subjectivity of the individual. If this issue has traditionally been addressed through recourse to categories such as individual private property, a new perspective could allow the mind (and its products) to be recognised as having a peculiar "status", like the one of the Commons. In this essay, I question the elements of these Commons: The Mental Integrity and the Cognitive Liberty.

Abstract

Neurotechnologies represent both an extraordinary opportunity for our intellectual capacities and a risk for the security, privacy, autonomy and integrity of our minds and cognitive acts. Therefore, it is very important to find legal protection for the mind and its contents, that is, to recognise as an individual and social value the integrity of cognitive processes linked, or not, to the subjectivity of the individual. If this issue has traditionally been addressed through recourse to categories such as individual private property, a new perspective could allow the mind (and its products) to be recognised as having a peculiar "status", like the one of the Commons. In this essay, I question the elements of these Commons: The Mental Integrity and the Cognitive Liberty.
