A London artist has created a helmet that translates your brainwaves into music.
Aiste Noreikaite was inspired by Buddhist meditation practices to create the helmet, which uses EEG (electroencephalography) technology to create music based on the person's attentiveness and brain activity.
Speaking of the helmet to The Creators Project, Noreikaite said, "The user hears the sound that is being generated by his brainwaves. The brainwaves recognise themselves in that sound and react to it very positively, then this is looped back to them via sound again and again."
When the user have a clear state of mind, the sounds are sade to become higher, and when they focus on particular subjects, the sounds become faster and more rhythmic.
It's head-scratching stuff.
