Muse Sleep Band Used User Brain Data for AI Training Without Explicit Consent
An investigation revealed that Canadian company Interaxon, maker of Muse sleep and meditation headbands, used approximately 50,000 hours of users' EEG recordings to train AI models without explicitly informing users. This raises significant privacy concerns, especially given the sensitive nature of brainwave data and the limitations of de-identification methods. Scientific studies demonstrate that EEG data can contain personal and health-related information, which could be inferred even after anonymization.
