TIL About Muse the brain sensing headband!

in #til8 years ago

Every Sunday I go to my local Makerspace and we brainstorm ideas and talk about technology. Today was especially interesting because I got my hands on the Muse a device that can read your brain waves. I had never heard about the Muse until today and it seems really cool. There aren't many apps for the Muse yet and its main purpose currently is a meditation assistant to help you unwind and relax. The Muse app during configuration basically tells you to think about different topics like sports or historical figures. Once it verifies that it can analyze your brain waves it gives you different situations with different environmental sounds based on your brain state. 

The future applications for a device like the Muse are both scary and cool. There is always that fear in the future governments will be able to read your thoughts. Although I don't believe the technology is that mature. IOT applications for this technology like things around the house or even as password replacement using your personal brain signature could be something in the near future. 

What are you thoughts on the Muse?
