These are the headphones that will explore the secrets of the brain

To examine the intricate paths of the brain and learn the valuable information provided by this body that is largely unknown to science, many start-ups are using the technology.

NextSense, a company born from the Google XAlpha or Monosha projects, aims to enter the brain through the ears. How? Headphones capable of recording electrical signals from the brain to study sleep and neurological status, among a large amount of neural data, are in full development.

The aim of the innovative device is to record the electroencephalogram (EEG) in a much more comfortable and simple way, which will greatly facilitate the study of the brain, since it will not require fixing the electrodes on the patient's scalp.

This is a history of research, perseverance and trust in technology: after many years of testing at Emory University, Jen Dwyer, NextSense Medical Director, has found that the headset is very useful for collecting signs of EEG seizures that are about to happen.

In the future, his invention may be basic to predict the above-mentioned problem, as well as provide a less invasive replacement for chips located in the brain that are connected to the computer interface, such as those that Elon Musk wishes to implant. with his company Neuralink.

These headphones promise to analyze other things, such as controlling devices and prosthetics with the mind.

“We know our blood pressure, cholesterol and respiratory system, but it's the most important part of our brain that we don't yet systematically evaluate,” said the director of Emory University's Center for Brain Health, Allan Levey, who is collaborating to get the device up and running.

There will be many methods of medical use for the device. This invention will have the possibility of allowing users to take detailed images of models of quality, hygiene and sleep patterns, valuable information with the meaning of sleeping in the health of living beings.

Separate from Alphabet, NextSense has earned 5.3 million dollars of money and does not need to highlight the biggest trade, its next step is to transport its headphones to collect universities of brain data and pharmaceuticals. They also want to submit their project throughout 2022 for FDA approval.
