Neural Rights in the System of Constitutional Rights and Freedoms and in Legal Education: The Content and Limits of Ethical and Legal Regulation

Annotation

Goal. The formulation of the problem of the doctrinal analysis of the use of neurotechnologies in Russian law, and the identification of their role in the mechanism of modern legal regulation, the creation of a new variety (group) of rights and freedoms of citizens – "neuro-rights", the emerging practice of using neuro-tools in various spheres of human activity affects, among other things, educational and educational aspects. In this regard, it should be noted that many graduates of law schools, as well as practitioners working in the law enforcement and justice systems, in private consulting and in the state civil (municipal) service, still have very little knowledge of the use of neurotechnologies and the risks of their use. The article attempts to determine the nature of a new type of rights and freedoms – "neuro-rights", to identify the substantive aspects of the existing types of "neuro-rights", as well as the risks of using neurotechnologies that can potentially harm citizens, including in the form of loss of mental sovereignty over the consciousness of the individual. Methodology: dialectics, hermeneutics, historical-legal and comparative-legal methods, method of legal construction. Conclusions. The use of neurotechnologies in law and legal education, as the results of the conducted research show, already leads to significant problems, whether it is the distortion of the quality of student education due to the massive use of neural networks, or the possibility of manipulating people's minds in the interests of the state or private corporations. The solution may be the regulatory regulation of various types of neural rights in the constitutional legislation of our country, as well as the definition of the limits and limitations of the use of neurotechnologies in various fields, including in the educational process. Scientific and practical significance. The article is aimed at understanding the category of "neuro-rights" in the system of constitutional rights and freedoms, defining the types of relevant rights, including their implementation in educational activities and in other areas (labor relations, medicine, advertising, etc.), as well as the need for a state policy aimed at legalizing the institution of neuro-rights both in domestic legislation, It is the same in international law.
