Thinking for you: New EEG headset measures brainwaves to learn what you like… can even “adjust your mood”

( Natural News ) The use of electroencephalogram (EEG) technology has long been in use in most hospitals and clinics all over the world and, historically, its use has been mostly limited to that environment. Until now, that is. At the recently wrapped up Consumer Electronics Show expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, a Belgian technology center called Imec has showcased a novel use of the technology that could finally lead to it hitting the mainstream market of regular end-users. Researchers from Imec have developed a product that uses EEG technology in the form of a headset . What it does is quite simple and straightforward, but its applications could number in the dozens, at the very least. According to a report from C|Net , Imec’s so-called EEG headset can gauge your emotions and end up doing all manner of things for you. For example, the report says that it can “help with therapy” while also tackling other things, such as “changing your video game as you play, improving memory when you’re learning, matching music to your mood,” and even quickly adjusting your mood by changing the music that’s playing through it. Yes, it’s also a fully working headset that can be used to play the music that (it determines) you would like to listen to. According to Imec, the integration of the music playback allows the system to not only measure, but also influence the emotions of the person that is wearing the headset. This is done through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in order to “instantly identify the wearer’s emotional state.” Get more news like this without being censored : Get the Natural News app for your mobile devices.
