A tech company has launched a program offering volunteers $50 for sharing data on their brain activity. Participants wear special helmets with sensors that record brain signals while they perform tasks or watch visual content. This data is used to train artificial intelligence algorithms to recognize mental commands and processes, according to infohub.kz.
The project aims to create brain-computer interfaces that can understand a person's intentions before they are expressed in words or actions. Developers hope the technology will allow people to control devices with their thoughts and improve communication for those with speech or motor impairments.
However, cybersecurity and ethics experts have expressed concerns: brain activity data is highly sensitive personal information, and its collection may pose privacy risks.
