EEG-enabled devices: a new era of neurotech for consumers
Zander Labs
Merging human values & intelligence with Artificial Intelligence (AI) through passive Brain-Computer Interfaces (pBCI)
As specialized EEG products such as headbands and headsets gain traction, everyday consumer devices are beginning to integrate EEG sensors that unlock new functionality beyond their intended purpose.
This trend is no coincidence but reflects the growing interest in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology and its potential to revolutionize?the way?we interact with our devices. Robust, seamlessly integrated EEG sensors are a crucial step towards realizing the full potential of neuroadaptive technology in everyday life.
From EEG-capable earbuds and headphones to EEG-XR hybrid headsets, everyday devices are evolving to monitor brain activity like never before. Thanks to this new capability, consumer devices can provide valuable insights into the?user’s?state of mind and seamlessly integrate neuroadaptive software solutions.
Neuroadaptive EEG devices
Neuroadaptive EEG devices have the potential to dynamically adapt their functions, facilitate neurofeedback and offer novel control options that promise a more intuitive and personalized user experience.
Just think of EEG earbuds that dynamically adapt the music to the?user's?mood,?or gaming headphones that?adapt?the?game's?difficulty level?to the?user's?level of engagement. In sports and industry, EEG-equipped safety helmets could monitor cognitive data and provide information on operational improvements to enhance safety and decision-making.
With advances in sensor miniaturization, new developments in mobile neuroimaging and ever-improving signal processing capabilities, such EEG-enabled products are gradually becoming a reality, with several hardware patents driving innovation.

10 个月The thing is, I work with a lot of EEG companies. A LOT. And all of them without exception want some kind of neuroadaptation. What we call a "closed loop". Problem is, it ends up being super subtle because a true closed loop results in garbage, with the exception of sleep but even there, stim with barely any closed loop works better. Do I know why? Nope. But if you think about things in terms of reacting to the user, if you were to detect burnout for example. At this point the cat is already out of the bag and the user feels like crap. Preventative measures work much better and can be set on a simple timer. The timer can be adapted over time perhaps? The fact is that most of the companies talking about how their product adapts to the brain are simply trying to meet general expectations. Let's take sleep. You reach N2. What should your device be doing? Absolutely freaking nothing except for trying to get them into slow wave sleep and keeping them there as long as possible. What about REM? That's beta waves. 1) you will not in fact enhance REM, and 2) you might wake the patient up.
