Summary

Advancements in neuroscience and cybersecurity are reshaping digital security, with brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), neuroimaging (EEG, fMRI), and cognitive biometrics offering new authentication methods beyond passwords and fingerprints. BCIs can enhance access control, while neural signal analysis may detect stress or insider threats. However, these innovations raise ethical concerns. Neural data reveals emotional, cognitive, and behavioral states, making unauthorized use a major privacy risk. Without strong consent and safeguards, such data could be exploited, leading to ethical violations.
