ANPD takes the debate on neurotechnologies global with an English version of the Technology Radar

The translation of the fourth volume in the series broadens global access to discussions on the impact of these innovations on data protection

The National Data Protection Agency (ANPD) is publishing, this Tuesday (19th), the English version of the fourth edition of its Technology Radar dedicated to Neurotechnologies. The translation is part of the Agency’s ongoing efforts to expand international cooperation and foster global dialogue on the impacts of emerging technologies on personal data protection and privacy.   

Neurotechnologies are devices and methods that interact with the brain and the nervous system to access and modulate the functions of these systems through the processing of neural data. In this context, Technology Radar No. 4 addresses the main concepts related to neurotechnologies, presents their potential uses, and discusses the application of the LGPD’s general parameters to the processing of neural data.  

The international scope of this edition of the study responds to the growing interest of both foreign regulatory authorities in Brazilian legislation and international researchers in technical reference materials, reinforcing the ANPD’s commitment to producing knowledge accessible not only to the Brazilian public but also to the international community.   

The ANPD’s Technology Radar series examines how emerging technologies impact the national and international landscape of personal data protection. To view other issues in the series, click here.
