You cannot patent or trademark or copyright what occurs in your body. Through medical privacy laws, there is some ownership of what happens in your body, in the aspect that you can control the dissemination of that activity. If you choose to disseminate it and it leads to technological advances, you do not have any authorship in the advances by contributing your body's information so you would not have any ownership absent a contract.
