wearable devices. So these are brain
0:02
sensors uh that are starting to be
0:04
embedded in everyday devices but until
0:06
now have been a number of niche
0:08
companies that really have focused on
0:11
mindfulness and meditation. The use of
0:13
for example brain sensors that can pick
0:15
up electrical activity in the brain at a
0:17
pretty low resolution. But advances in
0:20
AI have both improved what the signal is
0:23
that can come from the brain um and
0:25
enabled the miniaturaturization uh of
0:28
those products. As a lot of the major
0:30
tech companies start to invest um in
0:33
these brain sensors, it's a huge I think
0:35
untapped market in many ways of
0:38
integrating them into everyday devices.
0:39
These are earbuds or watches or
0:42
headphones and the soft cups around the
0:44
ears. Many of those products are hitting
0:46
the market this year and others are
0:49
hitting them within the next two years
0:50
such that people can listen to music, a
0:52
phone call etc. while having those
0:55
devices in ears. Initially what they
0:58
will be capable of doing is very high
1:00
level brain state reading things like
1:02
are you tired, are you paying attention,
1:04
is your mind wandering, are you happy or
1:07
sad? Um they maybe enable interaction
1:10
like up, down, left, right for
1:11
interaction with other technologies and
1:14
they're being embedded into things like
1:16
um visual uh virtual reality headsets.
