Dhaka, July 6 -- computer interface (BCI) technology is raising concerns about new vulnerabilities, including neural data interception, signal manipulation, and threats to neuroprivacy, according to recent scientific reports.

While the notion of "hacking" the human brain may sound like science fiction, neuroscience research suggests that BCIs-whether invasive implants or noninvasive wearable sensors-translate neural signals into digital commands for applications ranging from prosthetic control to gaming.

A report by the University of Maryland Global Campus explains how BCIs function by converting brain activity into digital information. However, a study from Cornell University highlights several security risks involved.

Hackers could i...
