Early Research Reveals Dark Side of Brain-Computer Interfaces

While brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) promise mind-controlled machines, early research shows they could also manipulate human perception. A study in China demonstrated that BCIs could potentially alter what a person sees by stimulating the visual cortex, raising concerns about misuse. Though intended for restoring vision, these devices could be exploited to influence behavior, force attention, or induce harmful effects like vertigo. As BCIs advance, the potential risks of widespread adoption are becoming increasingly apparent. #BCI #Neuralink #TechEthics #BTC☀
