A friend who is an electronics engineer sent me this article about an experiment to monitor brain activity remotely using WiFi and Bluetooth, and to use the results to improve the tuning of DBS in 5 patients with parkinson's disease

Very encouraging, although this sentence stands out:

"We have told patients to feel free to remove their wearable devices and to turn off their brain recordings whenever they engage in activities they would like to keep private.”

Excuse me?

I think it is possible it can detect activities which are intensely pleasurable. I'll make a point of turning mine off when I'm skiing
