• Abstract: A brain-computer interface (BCI) enables direct communication between the brain and an external device. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a common input signal for BCIs, due to its convenience and low cost. Most research on EEG-based BCIs focuses on the accurate decoding of EEG signals, while ignoring their security. Recent studies have shown that machine learning models in BCIs are vulnerable to adversarial attacks. This paper proposes adversarial filtering based evasion and backdoor attacks to EEG-based BCIs, which are very easy to implement. Experiments on three datasets from different BCI paradigms demonstrated the effectiveness of our proposed attack approaches. To our knowledge, this is the first study on adversarial filtering for EEG-based BCIs, raising a new security concern and calling for more attention on the security of BCIs.

  Brain-computer interface (BCI) establishes a direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device. EEG is the most popular input signal in BCIs, due to its convenience and low cost. EEG signals also contain rich private information, e.g., user identity, emotion, and so on, which should be protected.

  Building machine learning models using EEG recorded outside of the laboratory requires robust methods to noisy data and randomly missing channels. We propose dynamic spatial filtering (DSF), a multi-head attention module that can be plugged in before the first layer of a neural network. We tested DSF on public EEG data encompassing 4,000 recordings with simulated channel corruption and on a private dataset of 100 at-home recordings of mobile EEG with natural corruption.
