With high bandwidth comes high risk. ANX-131 is arguably the first BCI with enough data fidelity to reconstruct a user's raw sensory experience . Consequently, the architecture includes a hardware-based "neural firewall"—an isolation layer between the recording backend and the telemetry frontend.
Critics argue this is insufficient. If a bad actor gains access to the magnetic induction link, they could theoretically induce phantom sensations (paresthesia) or erase motor memories. The developers have responded by requiring galvanic body response (skin conductance) as a second-factor authentication for any firmware update. ANX-131
