today on future tech we're talking about mind control which as it turns out sometimes means getting control of your own mind I know it sounds sci-fi but it's a reality and this is just one of the devices making it happen and neuro sky is one of the companies behind the futuristic technology they've developed a type of headsets that actually reads your brainwaves or EEG that's fine that's fine this appears to be my brain this is your brain when digitized okay so the first thing you're going to know this is that white line which is called the raw EEG signal and that's just a completely unfiltered reaction of the electrical energy that's coming off of your forehead then using sophisticated algorithms the software takes the data from my brain and shows my mental state are very attentive individual from there I can start training my mind I can see my brain doing things this is where yoga practitioners could be really good because they can just turn it on and just lower the heart rate lower the metabolism and be relaxed and it's all done with this little headset and clip on earpiece so just logistically like how is this talking to this is it bluetooth the way that it works is that your body gives off electrical signals and we make instruments that measure that and then via bluetooth that communicates with the device should we like take this baby for arrived by this baby I guess I mean my brain Somali what you're playing here is a game called focus focus it's a very fun game around attention relaxation first I grew a plant with my mind deep breaths everyone makes me really nervous to think about relaxing who's that guy paradoxically I seem to relax more when I talk one star and then I was on to exploding a can of redbull there's our rope I also tried tug of war don't distract me I just lost me now that I've spent some time honing my skills I think I'm gonna take on our intern Brett in a little battle of the minds it's on oh it's always on Ravus mm-hmm begin and my challenge was to will this floating ball to the other side of the game board I just don't want you to lose on your own show you know now imagine wearing a headset like this one all the time this is called the necomimi and it is more of a social type experience it lets people know what you're thinking whether you're interested whether you're bored whether you're relaxed do you think you'd ever want to wear them at school have a good day truly the possibilities are mind-blowing crazy lady a research lab called chaotic moon has used a headset from a company called Emotiv to create technology that allows you to control a motorized skateboard using your minds run away and yell stop thinking stop thinking as you're thinking as you were running the board was racing back along the side chief
