 In sum, neuroimaging techniques raise a number of neuroethical issues. The ones discussed above pertain to the use of fMRI, currently an expensive and cumbersome technique. But other imaging methods exist that could be far more widespread. If car companies install imaging methods, for example using NIRS (near infrared spectroscopy), which is an imaging method that could be used at a distance and without the subject’s knowledge, or some other form of brain monitoring (https://www.jaguarlandrover.com/news/2015/06/jaguar-land-rover-road-safety-research-includes-brain-wave-monitoring-improve-driver) to monitor levels of attention in order to alert drivers who begin to doze off, could that data be used in a court of law in the event of an accident? Even though the kind of information these methods provide is very crude and generally unsuitable for decoding mental content, there are conceivable everyday situations on the horizon in which issues of mental privacy and neurotechnology might arise.
