Neuroheadset coming soon
While initially being produced for video gaming applications, a new device that is purported to actually be able to read your brain has all kinds of other potential uses.
According to the above-linked AP article, the device, by Emotiv Systems, Inc., reads the brain’s electrical signals, allowing it to “detect emotions such as anger, excitement and tension, as well as facial expressions and cognitive actions like pushing and pulling objects.”
It will be interesting to see how accurate it is and what its response times are, but this device could conceivably be used for anything that can be interfaced through a computer.
