Neurowear
Neurowear is a gadget project organization in Japan founded on the concept of the "Augmented Human Body". The group's first project, known as Necomimi (from ) is a headband with a brain wave sensor and motorized cat shaped ears programmed to turn up or down based on the wearer's electroencephalogram (electrical potentials recorded at the scalp) influenced by "thoughts and emotions". neurowear collaborated with Qosmo and Daito Manabe on "unboxxx" exhibition in July 2012 at Gallery KATA Ebisu. Necomimi Necomimi is a headband with a MindWave brain wave sensor manufactured by NeuroSky and motorized cat shaped ears programmed to turn up when the wearer concentrates and to turn down when they relax. It runs for 4 hours on 4 AAA batteries and has interchangeable Cat, Dog, and Devil Horn ears. In November 2011, Time Magazine selected necomimi as one of the 50 best inventions of the year. Necomimi received an Honorary Mention in the Interactive Art category of 2013 Prix Ars Electron ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
NeuroSky
NeuroSky, Inc. is a manufacturer of brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies for consumer product applications, which was founded in 2004 in Silicon Valley, California. The company adapts electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) technology to fit a consumer market within a number of fields such as entertainment (toys and games), education, automotive, and health. NeuroSky technology allows for low-cost EEG-linked research and products by using inexpensive dry sensors; older EEGs require the application of a conductive gel between the sensors and the head. The systems also include built-in electrical “noise” reduction software/hardware, and utilize embedded (chip level) solutions for signal processing and output. Neurosky primarily works as an original equipment manufacturer, or OEM, collaborating with industry partners, developers, and research institutions to deploy the technology into their own products and systems. When NeuroSky has released direct-to-con ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
