Safety and Security Aspects of Implanted BrainComputer Interface (BCI) for Human-Robot Interaction

— The study of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) has great potential in a variety of fields. Both invasive and non-invasive monitoring technologies can interpret brain activity, opening the door to new treatment options for people with impairments and other nonmedical uses. However, certain issues have been raised with Invasive BCI applications. In order to conduct trials using a BCI device in a way that is both safe and informative, it is crucial to first identify the hazards involved. In this paper, several aspects associated with BCI research in general and Invasive BCI research specifically have been discussed. Based on this research, we know that best practice development should be directed by methods that are: crossdisciplinary; systematic and clear; iterative; collaborative; and investigative. The invasive BCI signal recording technology has enormous promise in reading correct signals, however, it comes with hazards and issues that make it dangerous for usage on patients.
