IDEAS IN BRIEF
Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs)
  • Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are interfaces for recording and processing neurological data and turning these data into an output.

  • There are particular privacy risks associated with BCIs that might need the following solutions:
    1. Encryption
    2. Local-first software
    3. Separation of data and compute (or edge computing)
    4. Access control layer

You did all the preparations and all the work but the impact is not there.

9 Things You Can Do to Make User Research Stick

  • The author shares the story about how she started working on new personas for her product and how user research helped her along the way.
