Neurosity\u2019s headset uses electroencephalogram technology, or EEG, to measure brain activity by placing small metal electrodes on a person\u2019s scalp. If the electrodes detect decreased electrical activity in the brain, the Crown plays music and sounds, or pulses vibrations, hoping those actions will help the user focus.<\/p>\n

But some developers, it seems, have taken Neurosity\u2019s tech a step further, turning the Crown into a more traditional brain computer interface that can allow users to control a computer using only their mind.<\/p>\n

One owner of the gadget claimed they\u2019ve used it to drive a Tesla, moving the electric car short distances by doing some mental math, which signals to the device that the person wearing it is exerting a lot of cognitive effort.<\/p>\n
