Our findings matters for how we design neurorights frameworks : legal arguments for special protections of brain data are often grounded in claims on the brain's epistemic superiority. An assumption seemingly not shared by the public.

The data is consistent with, what we call, the 'reluctant allure': participants are reluctant towards sharing brain data; not because brain data is more revealing but because it feels more like the self.

Across 4 preregistered experiments (N = 627) in the UK, Germany, Spain, and the US, we found that people consistently rated sharing brain data as less acceptable than sharing heart rate data, even though they judged heart rate as equally or more reliable for measuring emotions.

🧠 New preprint: why are people reluctant to share their brain data?

Together with @opheliaderoy.bsky.social at @mi3lab.bsky.social, I've investigated public attitudes towards neurotechnologies. The intuitive answer is that people worry what brain data reveals. Our data tells a different story.

Do your #students feel comfortable sharing their #LearningData? A new #study by @louislongin.bsky.social, Deisy Briceno and @spoq.bsky.social (2025) with 60 #university #students reveals surprising results: Read our short summary: tinyurl.com/5n6md9d3 #NewsNugget

Talking with peers strengthens critical awareness about sharing learner data A new interdisciplinary study shows that learners are happy to share their learning data at first. But group discussions change this willingness.

Digitalization in education increases learning data collection. A study led by @louislongin.bsky.social (Chair of Philosophy of Mind) & researchers from @tum.de has now found that learners are becoming much more careful with their data as a result of discussions with others.
