MIND Act of 2025

This bill would require the Federal Trade Commission to study how neural data (information measured from a person's nervous system by devices) and related data like heart rate, eye tracking, or voice analysis are collected, used, sold, and protected. The Commission would consult with other agencies and outside groups and, within one year, send Congress a public report with analysis and recommendations, then update it at least once a year. The bill authorizes $10 million for this work. After the report, the White House science office and the Office of Management and Budget would issue binding guidance on how federal agencies may buy and use neurotechnology, and agencies could not use such technology in ways that conflict with that guidance.
