DESCRIPTION:As consumer BCI devices move from research labs into everyday p
 roducts\, designers face a new and largely unexplored challenge: what happ
 ens to a user's sense of control when an interface changes based on their 
 brain signals\, without them asking it to? This talk introduces a working 
 research paper examining user agency and perceived control in passively ad
 aptive BCI systems. Drawing on a Wizard-of-Oz study design and mixed-metho
 ds methodology\, the research identifies four experiential themes\, survei
 llance discomfort\, misattribution of cause\, adaptive trust collapse\, an
 d emergent co-agency\, and proposes a preliminary neural transparency desi
 gn framework with four actionable principles for designers building BCI-in
 tegrated interfaces. The talk aims to open a conversation about what respo
 nsible\, legible design looks like when the system reads your mind.
