But that’s exactly what Boston-based startup Neurable has spent the last nine years creating — and they’re going on sale this fall.

The headphones, called the MW75 Neuro, contain the same sensors as a bulky electroencephalogram — known as an EEG — which is used to measure electrical activity in the brain. Embedded with artificial intelligence (AI), the headphones translate this activity into usable information for the wearer, shared via an app.

Typically, EEGs are used to diagnose medical conditions like epilepsy, strokes or traumatic brain injuries. 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.

These smart headphones are like “a Fitbit for your brain” that can track cognitive health and event detect the early signs of neurodegenerative diseases, he says — and could be the first in a new line of consumer-friendly brain-reading wearables.

“Our vision is that, whether it’s headphones, earbuds, helmets — if it touches your head, you have the potential to be empowered with that data.”

Electroencephalography (EEG) sensors
A device with an EEG sensor on the user's head can read brain activity during REM sleep.



Electrode placement & good contact with the skin are very important.
This device falls very short of being considered an EEG machine.

One article I read, described it as a 'Fitbit for the Brain'.
Nonsense.

But, in the future, when Uncle Elon gets his device refined, who knows what will happen.

That reminds me, there was an Episode in Startrek Voyager, when the crew got controlled by some sort of VR game, using 'glasses', anyone remember it?

Yea, I know, 7 of 9 was hot..
