The Japanese company behind the mind-controlled wearable tails and animal ears, Neurowear, has released a new kind of headphones that could revolutionize the way we listen to music.
Called ‘Mico’, the headphones are controlled using your brain waves, and it selects songs that fit your mood.
The pair of headphones has a sensor that rests on its users forehead, it also connects to an iPhone via Bluetooth.
Mico selects songs that have been ‘neuro-tagged’ on the company’s app, which currently contains 100 songs—users can also change the song by shaking their iPhone.
“Mico frees the user from having to select songs and artists and allows users to encounter new music just by wearing the device,” Neurowear said in a statement. “The device detects brainwaves through the sensor on your forehead. Our app then automatically plays music that fits your mood.”
The mind-controlled headphones are still currently in the stages of testing, and may be available in the near future.
Neurowear is also looking into a partnership with Spotify, to create a larger neuro-tagged library.
