The Neurotechnology Revolution is Here
We are on the edge of a new human experience defined by unprecedented insight into and influence over the human brain. Neurotechnologies—tools that can record, interpret, and even manipulate brain activity—are rapidly entering everyday life, pushing the boundaries of what we can do and who we can become.
Neurotechnologies, powered by generative artificial intelligence, are unlocking capabilities once considered science fiction, such as thought-to-text translation, the improvement of short-term memory, and new treatments for brain diseases. The Neurorights Foundation is leading the way to ensure that neurotechnologies are leveraged for social good and safeguarded from misuse or abuse.
Our work involves cutting-edge research, shaping global standards, and guiding responsible innovation with neurotechnology companies. We serve as a bridge between scientists, policymakers, industry, and the public, a bridge to the future.

Leader Schumer And Senators Cantwell And Markey Introduce Legislation To Shield Americans’ Brain Data From Exploitation
In late September 2025, Leader Schumer and Senators Cantwell And Markey introduced legislation to protect Americans' brain data from exploitation. The newly introduced MIND Act is the first bill in the history of the U.S. Congress to address neurotechnology governance, and the Neurorights Foundation is proud to have provided expert consultation and guidance in support of this landmark bill.

Theatre of Thought
The Neurorights Foundation teamed up with legendary director Werner Herzog to create a documentary film about the human brain, called Theater of Thought. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and we offer free educational screenings to organizations and community groups.
