But no guarantees or
standards are currently in place regarding user privacy and
security. In this paper, we identify privacy and security issues
arising from possible misuse or inappropriate use of BCIs. In
particular, we explore how current and emerging non-invasive
BCI platforms can be used to extract private information, and we
suggest an interdisciplinary approach to mitigating this problem.
We then propose a tool to prevent this side-channel extraction of
users’ private information. This is a first step towards making
BCI-enabled technologies secure and privacy preserving.
