Neuroprivacy, neurosecurity and brain-hacking: Emerging issues in neural engineering


Abstract


With the current capability in microtechnology and computational neuroscience, there is the opportunity to develop devices that can effectively establish a connection pathway between the human nervous system and interfaced electromechanical systems. Brain-controlled computer systems, robotic limbs, neuroprostheses, brain-stimu-lators, cognitive orthotics, memory aids, hearing and visual implants, are no longer domain of science fiction; they are already commercialized medical technologies or well-corroborated research prototypes. While neural engineering can have a groundbreaking impact on neurological care and radically improve the quality of life of neurological patients, it raises the issues of dual-use and information security.



Neurosecurity: Human Brain Electro-optical Signals as MASINT​



Applied neuroscience presently allows not only the scientific discovery-oriented probing of the inner workings of the mind, but increasingly the probing of individual minds toward gathering intelligence. Significant advances in neuroimaging, leveraging both active and passive electro-optical energy, can reveal specifics of information held in the mind even without cooperation (e.g., Lange et al., 2018; Sawyer et al., 2016a). The processes of the brain increasingly join many other energetic sources from which quantitative and qualitative data analysis may extract identifying features and other useful intelligence (Sawyer & Canham, 2019). Indeed, it is increasingly appropriate to discuss the human brain as a system which can be read from, written to, and the operations of which may therefore be collected for analysis or influenced (Sawyer & Canham, 2019). We argue here that we are witnessing the end of the era in which human thought is generally accepted as an entirely private process, the starting point of an unquestionably remarkable transition. The collection of unintended emissions and byproducts toward intelligence fits well into the mold of Measurement and Signals Intelligence, and indeed Measurement and Signature Intelligence (both MASINT, Macartney, 2001), and so we believe this community within the Intelligence Community is wellsuited to discuss these new realities of neurosecurity, as it helped shape many formative discussions surrounding cybersecurity. A MASINT perspective on biological, neural
signatures comes with the need to discuss current capabilities, projected technological arc, practicalities, and potential abuses.

Scientists developed a new brain implant for wireless networking!

  1. People will be able to control computers and smart devices with their minds!
  2. US scientists have developed a brain implant that does not need to be connected to any device and can work with the human body's own energy.


Users may soon have a 'brain internet' thanks to a wireless implant that will allow people to control computers and smart devices with their minds.

The brain implant, invented by scientists at Purdue University in the USA, does not need to be connected to a computer or device to capture the user's brain waves, unlike existing brain chips.

The implant, which is the size of a grain of rice, allows people to connect to the internet, computers and other smart devices wherever they are, researchers said.

On the other hand, although there have been many attempts to connect brain signals to an external device, the latest study is the first to demonstrate high-bandwidth wireless communication between neural implants and wearable devices.

Jan Rabaey from the University of California, who was not involved in the study, said in a statement on the subject: "Having a device that communicates with an implant from outside the skull is very attractive. It brings a new and interesting perspective to a problem that many people deal with." said.

To implant Purdue University's chips, doctors remove the skin over the skull and perform a bilateral craniotomy using a precision surgical dental drill.

After craniotomy, the midline skull is thinned to improve contact between the chip and smart devices, which are not connected to the brain.

According to scientists, the human body, including the brain, can innately support internal communication based on the production of small electrical signals, the high-speed nature of which creates a broadband channel that extends throughout the body.

“'Once our electric field base matures around the body, it becomes an obvious choice for us to conduct this research as it is also applicable within the brain for high-bandwidth ultra-low-power implant-to-computer communications,” said Shreyas Sen, lead author of the study. said.

Brain-computer interfaces are about to become a reality. Soon, societies will be herded en masse like sheep.

Its why I'm already working towards a move to off-grid as far as possible (with others who realise this too) given things inevitably will get too intolerable in the denser human society. Enjoy freedom and personal agency under God....and get away from the dictators that will be playing God later....and will destroy so much in their hubris.

" Scientists at the University of Hong Kong built a soft 3D transistor from hydrogel semiconductors.

But this is not a living computer.

And it is not a fully implantable artificial brain.

The real story is soft bioelectronics.

Modern electronics is mostly built from rigid, flat silicon devices.

Living tissue is the opposite:

soft
wet
three-dimensional
ion-rich
biologically active

That mismatch makes it hard to build electronics that can truly integrate with cells and tissues.

Researchers at HKU’s WISE group developed a new type of 3D hydrogel semiconductor.

Hydrogels are water-rich polymer networks that can behave more like biological tissue than hard silicon.

In this study, the team used hydrogel semiconductors to build soft, millimeter-thick, three-dimensional transistors.

That part is real.

Why does this matter?

Because most transistors are 2D and rigid.

These hydrogel transistors are soft, stretchable, biocompatible, and porous enough to support living cells.

They can also conduct both ionic and electronic signals.

That is important because biology often communicates through ions, while electronics communicate through electrons.

This kind of material could help bridge those two worlds.

The researchers also used the system to build 3D transistor arrays and brain-inspired neuromorphic circuits.

That could eventually matter for:

bioelectronic interfaces
organ-on-chip systems
neural interfaces
biosensors
tissue-integrated electronics
future biohybrid computing

But the key context matters:

not a medical implant ready for patients
not a synthetic organ
not a living brain
not proof of conscious biochips
not a consumer device
not tested as a therapy in humans
not a replacement for silicon chips
not proof electronics can merge with the body safely long term

The important nuance:

This is a materials and device breakthrough.

It shows that transistors can be made soft, 3D, tissue-like, and cell-compatible.
But turning that into safe medical devices will require much more work:

long-term stability
immune response testing
manufacturing scale-up
regulatory approval
implant safety
reliable performance inside real tissue

So the correct headline is not:

“Scientists created a living semiconductor.”

The correct headline is:

HKU researchers developed soft, 3D hydrogel-based transistors that can better interface with living cells — a major step for bioelectronics, but still early-stage materials research.

Real breakthrough. Not a cyborg organ yet."

Mind-controlled drones and bioelectronic microchips will also become widespread soon.

This will pave the way for brain-computer interfaces. Or we will see more advanced technologies that are not limited to certain areas.
