Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are commonly used in Neurological Rehabilitation, epilepsy management, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), and similar diseases. BCI can improve the communication skills of people affected by these diseases. They can be used to improve learning, work, or overall mental performance by measuring attention and stress levels, using this information. Individuals with spasms or loss of muscle control can carry out various tasks by communicating their thoughts via a computer. BCI technology can help the sick move by recording brain signals, using signals.

Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder that occurs because of the death or damage of brain cells. This disease often causes difficulties in movement control and coordination. BCI technology can be used to improve the quality of life of Parkinson's patients and manage some of their symptoms.

Among all concerns discussed in the literature, the most frequently discussed topics include the safety of BCI devices and the associated risk/benefit balance for the BCI user. The security of devices to which BCI is connected may be exposed to the intervention of malicious individuals or groups. Threats such as attacks via brain-computer interfaces or information theft could be involved. BCI can change the dynamics of communication and interaction between people. Such changes can lead to ethical concerns about how to adapt to social and cultural norms and adapt to these changes.

This study will try to review the risk/benefit balance and possible ethical issues of this technology, which provides a powerful challenge, especially in the treatment of neurological diseases.
