The Devices That Will Read Your Brain\u2014and Enhance It<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In the not-so-distant future, wearable computers will read brain waves and offer suggestions in real time to improve performance in everyday activities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re feeling distracted and can\u2019t get your work done despite a looming deadline. Your headphones detect your lack of focus and suggest you take a break, while a headband beams signals to adjust your\u00a0brain activity<\/a>\u00a0and energize you. Crisis averted.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s the future\u00a0technologists imagine<\/a>, and a variety of devices are being developed to enhance the brain\u2019s performance in day-to-day life.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right now, the market for devices that can\u00a0read brain activity<\/a>\u00a0and translate it into actions is in its infancy. But, thanks in part to\u00a0Elon Musk<\/a>\u2019s startup\u00a0Neuralink<\/a>, which is developing implantable brain-computer interfaces\u2014or BCIs\u2014that can record data from thousands of brain cells, investment and interest in these devices have soared in recent years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New wearable devices designed to provide feedback during day-to-day activities build on implantable BCIs used for medical interventions, as well as\u00a0decades of research into how the brain works<\/a>. Efforts on implantable devices focus on restoring function. Applications aimed to allow communication and movement have been in development for decades to help paralyzed patients, and researchers have made\u00a0major leaps<\/a>\u00a0with implantable devices in recent years, including giving\u00a0voice back to the voiceless<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
