THE HUMAN BRAIN HACKED!

With a chilling hint of the not-so-distant future, researchers at the Usenix Security conference have demonstrated a zero-day vulnerability in your brain. Using a commercial off-the-shelf brain-computer interface, the researchers have shown that it’s possible to hack your brain, forcing you to reveal information that you’d rather keep secret.


The security researchers' brain hacking setup

To extract this information, the researchers rely on what’s known as the P300 response — a very specific brainwave pattern that occurs when you recognize something that is meaningful (a person’s face), or when you recognize something that fits your current task (a hammer in the shed). 



The researchers basically designed a program that flashes up pictures of maps, banks, and card PINs, and makes a note every time your brain experiences a P300. Afterwards, it’s easy to pore through the data and work out — with fairly good accuracy — where a person banks, where they live, and so on.

Mankind, an amazing creature

Man is very impatient in nature and is highly inclined towards corruption. He is also very fretful when evil touches him. He worries a lot ...
