Meynen (2019) offers the reader a thought exercise: Imagine a future in which neurotechnologies for detecting mental states are applied in a forensic psychiatry setting. A broad range of examples of such technologies are offered, ranging from crude functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)-based communication with patients in a vegetative state to brain-computer interfaces that allow for volitional movement of a robotic arm. Meynen collectively calls these approaches" neurotechnological thought apprehension (NTA)"-a somewhat provocative and (we argue) misleading label. The phrase thought apprehension implies an ability to perceive specific thoughts, which is beyond the scope of current technologies. While Meynen acknowledges that we are not yet
