Abstract

The rising integration of brain–computer interface (BCI) systems in healthcare, entertainment, and neuro-research has opened new attack surfaces, especially for cybercriminals targeting brainwave data. This study explores the risks and methodologies through which attackers can steal and manipulate brainwave signals using advanced signal interception and adversarial manipulation techniques. Utilizing the electroencephalography (EEG) motor movement/imagery dataset (PhysioNet, 2022), we propose an advanced model—NeuroAdversarial Signal Exploitation and Manipulation (NASEM)—that detects vulnerabilities in brainwave transmissions. We implement adaptive EEG signal injection and dynamic frequency tampering techniques for signal manipulation. Our method achieved a signal alteration success rate of 94.8% and a data extraction accuracy of 96.3% with an average stealth score of 0.89 (scale: 0–1) under black-box adversarial conditions. These results indicate a significant ...
