Abstract	The convergence of neuroscience and law has given rise to neuro-law, a rapidly evolving field exploring how advances in brain sciences influence legal doctrines, judicial reasoning, and the conceptual foundations of responsibility and rights. The advent of brain–machine interfaces (BMIs)—technologies enabling direct communication between neural systems and external devices—introduces unprecedented ethical, legal, and regulatory challenges. This article examines the implications of BMIs for criminal liability, autonomy, privacy, evidence, and human rights. It further analyzes emerging regulatory frameworks and proposes a neurolegal paradigm for balancing innovation with the protection of human dignity and cognitive sovereignty.
Keywords	Neuro-law, Brain–Machine Interface, Legal Responsibility, Cognitive Liberty, Neurological Privacy, Human Rights, Regulation.
