Journal of Neurosurgery: Neurosecurity: security and privacy for neural devices

“An increasing number of neural implantable devices will become available in the near future due to advances in neural engineering. …The use of standard engineering practices, medical trials, and neuroethical evaluations during the design process can create systems that are safe and that follow ethical guidelines; unfortunately, none of these disciplines currently ensure that neural devices are robust against adversarial entities trying to exploit these devices to alter, block, or eavesdrop on neural signals.”
