A pair of engineers designed a wearable device to do an electroencephalogram (EEG), called the Crown.
The device developed by Neurosity measures and analyzes brain waves with the help of 8 sensors, analyzing the user's frontal lobe activity and helping him to maintain focus and increase productivity with the help of music.
The EEG is one of the most commonly used techniques for measuring nerve activity.
The technology mainly records the electrical activity of the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp.
Depending on the user's brain signals, the device will play specially selected music to increase focus.
Because the ability to focus is regulated by the frontal lobe of the brain, the 'crown' apparatus focuses on this area of the brain.
The device is connected to the Neurosity Shift app, which is linked to the Spotify account, to play music.
So, the "crown" is basically a music player that reads the brain, analyzes the user's brainwaves and then plays the most appropriate music in order to maintain their focus.
The "crown" is similar to the previous "Notion 2" device, which was developed by the same company to send brain signals. This device also reduced technological distraction by muting notifications or ringtones automatically from the devices.
In an effort to help users eliminate procrastination, the Crown sends out a "report card" that indicates the most focused moments and the times when they are most distracted.
These devices are famous for their shortcomings in noise cancellation technology;
Which means that the music is drowned out by background noise.
However, Neurosti says its machines use the latest technology.
Any potential buyer would also be happy to know that Crown does not store any of its users' brainwaves for sale to third parties.
