BORBON, Diego  and  BORBON, Luisa. NeuroRights and Penal Neuroabolitionism: Critical comments on neuroprediction and lie detection. Cuest. Const. [online]. 2022, n.46, pp.29-64.  Epub Mar 03, 2023. ISSN 1405-9193.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24484881e.2022.46.17047.

This article critically addresses the convenience of creating new human neurorights to address the use of neuroprediction and lie detection technologies in penal systems. On this point, it is argued that neurorights could be conceptually problematic, or offer less protection than the one that can be extended by better interpretations of current fundamental rights and the constitutional principles of criminal law. The article ends by formulating a new critical proposal to limit neurotechnolo gy and propose the abolition of criminal law; we have called this proposal "penal neuroabolitionism".

Keywords : neurorights; crminal law; neuroprediction; lie detection; neurolaw; penal abolitionism.
