I Tried These Brain-Tracking Headphones That Claim to Improve Focus

Wired

Activity trackers have come a long way. Today, Boston-based company Neurable announced the launch of its smart headphones, dubbed the MW75 Neuro, which use electroencephalography, or EEG, and artificial intelligence to track the wearer’s focus levels by reading their brain waves. Noninvasive BCIs like Neurable’s collect brain data though the skin—usually with EEG—without requiring any kind of surgery. EEG is …

Editor’s Note: This CNN series is, or was, CNN — Mind-reading headphones sound like an invention straight out of a science-fiction film, and a far-fetched one at that. But Neurable’s goal is to create an “everyday brain-computer interface” that can help people struggling with burnout, fatigue and productivity, says Ramses Alcaide, the company’s CEO and co-founder. “The resolution is a …

100 years of electroencephalography (EEG) in human medicine

The Hindu

The EEG is a marvel of physics and neurobiology that opens a simple window into the human brain. The movement of these particles gives rise to electrical activity that a health worker can use an EEG test to visualise. EEG measures electrical activity in the brain generated by neurons. EEG is better than other diagnostic devices at tracking relatively rapid …

A century after the EEG was discovered, it remains a crucial tool for understanding the brain

The Hindu

Jena, Germany, 1924: Working in near-isolation and with painstaking tediousness, the psychiatrist Hans Berger observes rhythmic electrical activity from the scalp of human subjects. He is convinced the activity arises from within the brain and coins the term “electroencephalogram.” It is 10 years before the scientific community accepts Berger’s work, birthing the field of electroencephalography, or EEG for short. Today, …
