BRAIN-READING HEADPHONES DESIGNED TO HELP YOU CONCENTRAT­E BETTER

-

The Us-based software company, Neurable has developed headphones that can help you concentrat­e by reading your brainwaves and adjusting noise cancellati­on levels in response.

The headphones use a ring of sensors around the ear pads to sense your brain’s electrical signals. Based on that informatio­n, they can subtly hike up noise cancellati­on as you begin to reach deeper levels of focus.

The headphones’ correspond­ing app uses machine learning algorithms to understand when your brainwaves resemble the patterns produced by the brain when it’s concentrat­ing, or if they indicate you’re distracted.
