Limitations:
Inter-Subject Variability: Individual differences in brain activity and language processing could pose challenges for generalizing the model across diverse populations.
Data Quality and Quantity: The accuracy and reliability of language-based brain decoding depend on the quality and quantity of training data, which may be limited or biased.
Complexity of Cognitive Processes: Language-based decoding may oversimplify the complex cognitive processes involved in brain activity, leading to potential inaccuracies in interpretation.
Privacy and Security: Utilizing language-based brain decoding for applications like brain-computer interfaces raises concerns about privacy and data security, especially if sensitive information is involved.
Ethical Considerations:
Informed Consent: Ensuring participants fully understand the implications of using their brain data for language decoding and obtaining informed consent for data collection and usage.
Data Privacy: Safeguarding the confidentiality and privacy of individuals' brain data to prevent unauthorized access or misuse.
Bias and Fairness: Addressing potential biases in the data and algorithms used for language-based decoding to ensure fair and equitable outcomes for all individuals.
Transparency and Accountability: Maintaining transparency in the model's decision-making processes and being accountable for the implications of using language-based brain decoding in real-world applications.
