Hey dude! Nice hat...

Electroencephalography, yeah that got heads turning.

More commonly known as an EEG, is the measurement of a brains activity by its voltage fluctuation over the scalp. This measurement is more to determine how a brain functions when it is subjected to different activities and can, but had its main use of detecting brain tumours and such before we were able to use digital imagery to detect abnormalities. The EEG measures the brains billions of active neurones around the cranium. This technology has also been manipulated to use for gaming fanatics, where people (or animals in some scientific demonstrations and research) are able to control the product or game which is placed in front of them without using any interaction towards the device other than brain activity.

  1. I think i've seen this before and i found it really interesting! The fact that the brain produces a current sounds really cool! This device is also used in metaphysics to see the voltage of the brain depending of the process of thought and what thought that can be precessed, such as creating a positive thought produces a higher voltage unlike a negative thought.
