Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are commonly used in
Neurological Rehabilitation, epilepsy management, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
(ALS), and similar diseases. BCI can improve the communication skills of people
affected by these diseases. They can be used to improve learning, work, or
overall mental performance by measuring attention and stress levels, using this
information. Individuals with spasms or loss of muscle control can carry out
various tasks by communicating their thoughts via a computer. BCI technology
can help the sick move by recording brain signals, using signals.
Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder that occurs
because of the death or damage of brain cells. This disease often causes
difficulties in movement control and coordination. BCI technology can be used
to improve the quality of life of Parkinson's patients and manage some of their
symptoms.
Among all concerns discussed in the literature, the most
frequently discussed topics include the safety of BCI devices and the associated
risk/benefit balance for the BCI user. The security of devices to which BCI is
connected may be exposed to the intervention of malicious individuals or
groups. Threats such as attacks via brain-computer interfaces or information
theft could be involved. BCI can change the dynamics of communication and
interaction between people. Such changes can lead to ethical concerns about how
to adapt to social and cultural norms and adapt to these changes.
This study will try to review the risk/benefit balance and
possible ethical issues of this technology, which provides a powerful
challenge, especially in the treatment of neurological diseases.
