Open-BCI DIY-Neuroscience Maker-Art Mind-Hacking
31. Chaos Communication Congress

leading hackers and researchers from the worldwide hackerspace, universitiy, and DIY artist community, explain current technological possibilites in BCI, and show ways to use open source hardware and software for hackers, makers, artists, personal development, citizen science, providing a framework for alternative culture and free expression balancing the soon coming commercial expansion in "Neurogaming", "Neuromarketing" and "eHealth" talk will illustrate the mutually beneficial relationship between "hacking" and science, with the example of hacking BCIs, as well as an overview into the new field of "BCI Mind-Hacking", such as exploiting remote consumer Neuroheadsets, and Data-Mining the human-brain for sensitive data during casual use.

31C3-Assembly MindHacker-NeuroVillage the talk is envisioned with 3-4 speakers: 1 x hacker / artist / visionary (15 years chaos-angel) 1 x university BCI Phd-candidate (Neuroscience) 1 x electronics engineer working 40 years in EEG and can therefore include various aspects of this topic: artistic, political, scientific, technological, instructional, etc ... + + + talk will also illustrate the mutually beneficial relationship between "hacking" and science, with the example of hacking BCI systems. + + + LINK: MeTaMiNd EvoLuTioN (facebook) LINK: MeTaVoLuT1oN photo gallery + + + Exploiting consumer brain-computer-interfaces A talk about future applications of consumer EEG devices, reflecting security risks, such as ways to leak private user information (health conditions, PIN-codes, known people and locations, EEG biometrics), and how to avoid this from happening. We introduce different exploit approaches that also have been proposed by academia. We will evaluate security risks by considering a few, conceivable scenarios coming up the next decade. Finally, a call for participation: we would like to discuss a possible open-source platform to exchange EEG data anonymously, suggested neurofeedback protocols, as well as machine learning powered EEG pattern simulations, covering some of the most prominent cognitive processes. ~ ~ ~ we are from the original non-commercial and fully open-source project wWw.Open-BCI.ORG, as has been present at congress since 2007, and publicly introduced with a talk at 28C3: LINK: 28C3 Open-BCI talk video
