Cognitive Freedom Bill of Rights Campaign Develops Twelve Public-Education Posters
A completed series of twelve posters translates proposed Cognitive Freedom principles into accessible public-education materials.
September 21, 2026
The Cognitive Freedom Bill of Rights campaign completed a series of twelve educational posters on September 21, 2026. Developed by Maxis Richards, the series presents a proposed set of principles for protecting the human mind, personal agency and informed consent as technology develops.
The campaign uses a consistent visual format to introduce one principle at a time. Its purpose is to make the discussion of Cognitive Freedom approachable to people who may not routinely follow neuroscience, technology policy or debates about neural information.
Twelve Principles for Public Discussion
The series addresses cognitive sovereignty, mental privacy, freedom from neurotechnological interference, Cognitive Liberty, truth and transparency, protection from exploitation, informed consent, equal cognitive rights, access to knowledge, freedom from psychological torture, a natural mind and the future of humanity.
These principles are presented as an advocacy framework. The campaign does not announce an enacted statute, a government-adopted bill of rights or a binding international agreement. It invites discussion about which protections people should expect and how institutions could make them effective.
Making Rights Understandable
Each poster gives a single principle space for explanation. This approach supports use in presentations, community conversations and educational outreach, where an audience may benefit from considering consent, privacy or autonomy separately before discussing the wider framework.
The completed materials also provide a basis for explaining why beneficial technological development and meaningful safeguards belong together. Public understanding can help people ask clearer questions about data collection, personal choice, accountability and the responsibilities of institutions developing or using new systems.
Journalists and educators interested in the poster series or the proposed principles may contact Cognitive Freedom Coalition to request background and discuss appropriate use.
