Online services, devices or secret services are constantly collecting data and meta-data from users. This data collection is mostly
used to target users or customise their services. However, as illustrated by the Cambridge Analytica case, data and technologies are more and
more used to manipulate, influence or shape people's opinions online, i.e. to "hack" our brains. In this context, it is urgent to develop the field of
"Cognitive security” in order to better comprehend these attacks and provide counter-measures.
This talk will introduce the concept of "Cognitive security”. We will explore the different types of cognitive attacks and discuss possible research directions.
