Brain-Controlled Devices: A Dream or a Nightmare?

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology allows users to control devices with their thoughts, offering potential benefits like assisting individuals with mobility challenges. However, this innovation raises concerns about privacy and security, as unauthorized access to one’s thoughts could lead to misuse.


Who is at risk

Individuals using or considering BCI technology are most at risk.

What to watch for

Be cautious of devices that claim to read or interpret your thoughts.

What to do

Before adopting such technology, research the company’s security measures and data privacy policies. Would you like Athena to help with understanding BCI technology? Visit nccathena.org
