Mind hacking basically refers to the possibility of reading the thoughts of the human brain to extract any kind of sensitive information the brain contains,
be it the active or the passive mind. It is also possible to inject new information and modify the Past trends(As per sources).
Studies prove that The Human mind is vulnerable to many hacking attacks. The state of the art of technology already allows researchers to perceive
changes in the magnetic field related to the brain activity. This makes the researchers able to read peoples thought.

An esteemed Neurotechnologist Mr. Philip Low is currently working on designing of a small and smart portable brain monitor called iBrain. This gadget
will be capable of detecting the brains electrical activity from the surface of the scalp. They say though that individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
or similar body and mind capabilities still have a healthy brain activity. With this iBrain can be even used to control a mouse pointer on a computer
screen.
Researchers at the Usenix Security conference have demonstrated that exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in the human brain. They have successfully
proved that its possible to hack human brain!
Scientists used a commercial off-the-shelf brain-computer interface for the brain hacking resulting in the disclosure of information that victims had in their
minds.
Hardware composed by a (an EEG; an electroencephalograph) equipped with a series of sensors that are placed directly on the human scalp
The software designed to interpret brain activity signals
The price for a Brain Computer Interface is sensibly decreased in the last years, just $200-300 are sufficient to buy an Emotiv or Neurosky BCI,
immediately usable to control the user computer.
The Brain Computer Interfaces shall be accompanied with some advanced API to build applications able to elaborate BCIs output. Researchers from the
Universities of Oxford and Geneva, and the University of California, Berkeley have designed an application which is able to access to sensitive data in the
human brain, hacking brain makes possible the disclosure of sensitive information such as the debit card PIN, home location and month of birth. The
following graphs illustrate the results of the tests conducted with 28 participants, it is important to specify that participants in the program were
cooperative because they were not aware of the brain hacking experiment that had a 10 to 40% chance of success.
The information reading is based on the analysis of P300 response brainwave pattern as defined by Wikipedia as:
The P300 (P3) wave is an event related potential (ERP) component elicited in the process of decision mak ing. It is considered to be an
endogenous potential, as its occurrence link s not to the physical attributes of a stimulus, but a persons reaction to it. More specifically, the
P300 is thought to reflect processes involved in stimulus evaluation or categorization.
The pattern is observable when humans see something that is meaningful or recognize something that is related to their daily tasks.
The researchers basically designed a program that flashes up pictures of maps, bank s, and card PINs, and mak es a note every time your
brain experiences a P300. Afterwards, its easy to pore through the data and work out with fairly good accuracy where a person bank s,
where they live, and so on.
The attacks appear not applicable with none collaborative subjects, this means that is not possible during an interrogation, as victims could deceive the
device using social engineering techniques!
Moving forward we can imagine malware able to compromise our brain capturing our electric impulse generated by our brains, but what would be the
effect of a malicious attack on the human mind?
The principal nightmare is related the mental modification, the possibility to alter the state of human main, brain hacking could also refer the act to focus
the brain in an extreme state, moving the mind in what is called in the zone status.
The Neurotech company Berk a runs are developing technology to monitor peoples brain activity during a task , such as archery, and notify them
when they have reached their peak performance state, ak a, the zone. Essentially, the technology gives people the ability to hack into their own
brains in order to improve their performance.
The future is now lets start to think how to secure our brain!
