But for that to happen, the devices used to monitor them not only have to be highly advanced, but comfortable and practical to wear on our heads in everyday environments. The team has now taken a promising step towards such a future, unveiling what it says to be a first-of-its-kind EEG headset that will take brain monitoring out of the lab and into homes, cars and offices.

Mobile, consumer friendly electroencephalography (EEG) devices have taken various forms since the first commercial version appeared in 2008. From brain-training headbands to stress-relieving musical headsets attuned to our brainwaves, we are already getting an exciting glimpse of where the technology might be headed.
