5th amendment only protects you from incriminating yourself in potential criminal proceedings.

It does not prevent your employer from mandating you use it at work and then any data gathered being subpoenaed.

Or let's say it becomes something more ubiquitous like a smartphone, everyone uses it daily and all that data is gathered - your 5th amendment isn't going to do shit.

Additionally, the 5th would only protect what you say. It doesn’t, for example, prohibit search or manipulation of your body. For example, fingerprints are not protected by the 5th. I don’t see why brain fingerprints would be.
