Memories and thoughts are private-or at least they used to be. A new company, 9 July 2012 Veritas Scientific, is developing a technology that promises to peek into a person’s brain to reveal some of their secrets. “The last realm of privacy is your mind,” says Veritas CEO Eric Elbot. “This will invade that.”
The U.S startup company colonel which is developing a mind reading helmet said, it is started to ship its devices to its customers at a price of 50,000 dollars. Each helmet’s weight is less then a kilogram and contains multiple sensors that measure and analyze the brain’s electrical impulses and blood flow at the speed of thought registering how the organs react to the World around it. Basic technology has been around from years but such machines usually take up an entire room coast millions of dollars and require that patients sit quickly in a clinical setting. A simple wearable device would be breakthrough in brain research plus. Kernel engineers have developed a laser and computer chip that can see or record more brain activity than previous technology. The only catch is soo far is two separate device have had to be developed for different research purpose. One of them flow looks like a high technology bicycle helmet with a ring of sensor inside and a wire on a back that can be connected to a computer. This helmet is used for attention and emotional state in real time.
Another helmet flux measure the electromagnetic activity by accessing brain function activity and reactions to the information. Colonel’s founder believe that helmet helps everyone monitor their own brain health so, by 2030 he hopes to redue their coast to a price of a smartphone.
The helmet isn’t ready yet, but mind-reading tech is inevitable-even if it’s far in the future, experts say. Whether this technology should be used seems the bigger question. “Once you test brain signals, you’ve moved a little closer to Big Brother in your head,” says Sajda.
