<h1>Schools, firms, and researchers deploy brain-mapping device in student workshop, raising privacy, consent, safety, and liability concerns</h1> A private neurotechnology firm, a technical institute and a drone company launched a brain-mapping product at an educational workshop with two academic partners. The device is marketed to assess students' cognition, attention and emotional state and was demonstrated alongside AI, drone and robotics activities. Legal issues implicated include collection and processing of sensitive biometric and cognitive data-heightening data protection, consent (particularly for minors), and disclosure obligations-product accuracy and advertising claims, institutional procurement and liability for harms from interventions or misuse, and the need for clear contractual allocation of responsibilities among collaborators.
