This is the first paper exploring security and privacy issues of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) devices used in gaming and entertainment. We show that the signal captured by BCIs allows an adversary to infer private information, such as bank accounts, PINs, area of living, etc.

The paper was extensively covered by international media, e.g.:

Forbes - 'Mind-Control' Gaming Devices Leak Brain Data That Help Researchers Guess Users' Secret;

WIRED - Researchers Hack Brainwaves to Reveal PINs, Other Personal Data;

Schneier on Security - Hacking Brain-Computer Interfaces;

Spiegel Online - Headsets lesen Gedanken;

SciTechDaily - Brainwaves Hacked Using Consumer Grade EEG Headsets
