First paper on Adversarial Stimuli accepted at IEEE NER ’23

The SAIL lab has been investigating the security of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) for the past 2+ years, with multiple rounds of human-subject trials and experiments involving development of new paradigms in machine learning for BCIs. Last week, our first paper on this research was accepted for publication and presentation at the IEEE NER conference. In this paper, we demonstrate that such systems can be easily manipulated via small perturbations of sensory stimuli (what the subjects see, hear, or touch). We are hopeful that this preliminary report will establish an entirely new paradigm in Neurotechnology and Neurosecurity, and are excited to build on this success in the coming months. A pre-print of our paper is available here:
