Neurocam reads your mind :
According to report, a device, known as Neurocam, can read people's mind by recording footage from the user's own point of view. The device has EEG sensors, which can scan the user's brain activity. This recoginises the spikes in the user's interest, based on a measuring system.
The Neurocam consists of a headset with a brain-wave sensor on it, which when coupled with a smartphone, can determine what you like. What this further means, is that your smartphone can sense what you like based on your brain-waves and start recording what you see with the smartphone camera mounted on the side of your head at eye level.
The device is created by a Associate professor Mitsukura out of the University of Keio and co-developed with the Neurowear team. It takes an existing smartphone (the iPhone in this cases) and turns it into a mind-reading machine that capture 5 second GIFS based on the brains interest level.The device has a mechanism, which can hold an iPhone strapped to the side of the user's head. Further, there is a prism fitted, which allows the smartphone's camera to record footage from the user's point of view. The iPhone app for Neurocam marks the spikes in interest from one to 100. If the spike is marked 60 or above, the smartphone automatically starts recording footage of whatever the user is looking at. The footage that is recorded comes as GIFs, which lasts for give seconds. The hardware incorporates "Neurosky's Mind Wave Mobile and a new customized brainwave sensor with the newest BMD chip".
The Neurocam, by Nerurowear, is a new device that takes a snapshot of anything the wearer finds interesting. Many wearable cameras take so much footage that much of it ends up being boring. The goal of the Neurocam is to eliminate that problem. Like most other devices based on neurotechnology, the Neurocam basically uses senses that can detect the level of electronic activity in the wearer's brain. This information can then be used trigger a photograph being taken.
Currently the device is still in its prototype phase, and it's currently a little bulky. When it's released a good expect to see you much sleeker version and one that can be used for more than just taking footage of your everyday life. Not only that but in its currently prototype form the device uses as an integrated iPhone as its storage medium. We should expect to see the change in the final version and hopefully we will see Android compatibility as well.
