a last bastion of privacy, our brains have remained inviolate, even as sensors now record our heartbeats, breaths, steps and sleep. all that is about to change. an avalanche of brain-tracking devices—earbuds, headphones, headbands, watches and even wearable tattoos—will soon enter the market, promising to transform our lives. and threatening to breach the refuge of our minds.

咱们的大脑是隐私最终的堡垒，照常是不可以侵略的，即便如今传感设备可以记载咱们的心跳、呼吸、步数和睡觉。但这悉数即将改动。许多呈现的大脑监控设备——耳塞、耳机、发带、手表，甚至可穿戴纹身——将很快进入商场，即将改动咱们的日子。并挟制着要损坏咱们心灵的流亡所。

brain sensors could improve our ability to meditate, focus and even communicate with a seamless technological telepathy—using the power of thoughts and emotion to drive our interaction with augmented reality (ar) and virtual reality (vr) headsets, or even?type on virtual keyboards?with our minds. but brain wearables also pose very real risks to mental privacy, freedom of thought?and self-determination. as these devices proliferate, they will generate vast amounts of neural data, creating an intimate window into our brain states
, emotions and even memories. we need the individual power to shutter this new view into our inner selves.

大脑传感器可以前进咱们冥想、会集留心力的才能，甚至可以经过流通的心构思应技能进行交流——经过使用思维和情感的力气，驱动咱们与增强实际和虚拟实际头戴设备进行互动，咱们甚至可以用大脑在虚拟键盘上打字。但可穿戴大脑设备也对精力隐私、思维安适和自我抉择构成了不可以无视的实际风险。跟着这类设备的迸发，它们将发生许多的神经数据，为咱们的大脑状况、心境甚至回想创造一个隐私窗口。咱们需要使咱们的内在自我免于窥探的自个自立权。

employers?already seek out such data, tracking worker?fatigue levels?and offering?brain wellness programs?to mitigate stress, via platforms that give them unprecedented access to employees’ brains. cognitive and emotional testing based on neuroscience is?becoming a new job screening norm, revealing personality aspects that may have little to do with a job.?as companies embrace brain wearables that can track employees’ attention, focus and even boredom, without safeguards in place, they could trample on employee’s mental privacy, eroding trust and well-being along with the dignity of work itself.

雇主们现已在经过平台搜集这类数据，跟踪职工的疲惫程度，并经过平台供给大脑安康项目来减轻压力，这些平台让雇主可以触摸上任工的大脑，这是史无前例的。根据神经科学的认知和心境查验正在变成一种新的招聘选择标准，经过这种方法可以露出可以与作业无关的性格。公司初步在没有任何维护办法的情况下运用大脑可穿戴设备来跟踪职工的留心力、专心程度甚至厌烦程度，他们可以会蹂躏职工的精力隐私，腐蚀信赖和夸姣感，以及作业本身的庄严。

the rush to hack the human brain veers from neuromarketing to the rabbit hole of social media and even to cognitive warfare programs designed to disable or disorient. these technologies should have our full attention. neuromarketing campaigns such as one?conducted by frito-laysused insights about how women’s brains could affect snacking decisions, then monitored brain activity while people viewed their newly designed advertisements, allowing them to fine-tune their campaigns to better capture attention and drive women to snack more on their products.?

监控人脑的热潮从神运推广学转向了交际媒体的不知道世界，甚至转向了令人失能甚至紊乱的认知战争项目上。这些技能大约致使咱们的充分注重。例如由菲多利公司打开的神运推广活动，使用了对女人的大脑对吃零食抉择的影响机理的晓得，然后在我们观看他们新方案的广告时监测大脑活动，他们因而可以对广告活动进行微调，然后非常好地招引花费者的留心力，促进女人更多地吃他们的产品。

we stand at an inflection point in the beginning of a brain wearable revolution. we need prudent vigilance and an open and honest debate about the risks and benefits of neurotechnology, to ensure it is used responsibly and ethically. with the right safeguards, neurotechnology could be truly empowering for individuals. to get there will require we recognize new digital age rights to preserve our cognitive liberty—self-determination over our brains and mental experiences. we must do so now, before the choice is no longer ours to make.

咱们正处于大脑可穿戴设备改造之处的拐点上。咱们需要稳重警惕，对神经技能的风险和洽处打开翻开且真挚的谈论，保证以担任任、道德的方法使用这种技能。有了恰当的保证办法，神经技能才干真实为自个赋权。要完成这一方针，咱们需要知道到新数字年代的权力，然后维护咱们的认知安适，即对咱们的大脑和心思领会的自立抉择权。咱们有必要马上行为起来，等到咱们无法自立抉择的时分就为时已晚了。
