New ‘Mind Your Mind’ guide to protecting brain data published for Brain Awareness Week 2026

Written By Marianne B

In collaboration with the EBRAINS Ethics and Society Committee, the IBI Neuroethics Working Group developed the “Mind Your Mind” guide to protecting brain data, on the occasion of Brain Awareness Week 2026.

The new ‘Mind Your Mind’ guide was created to empower the public with knowledge about neurodata: what they are, why they matter, and how they can and should be protected. It is aligned with the principles of the European Charter for the Responsible Development of Neurotechnologies, which calls for ethical innovation, a human rights-based approach, and robust safeguards for neurodata.

Read the guide here to learn how you can protect your privacy in the age of commercial neurotechnology.
