A team of researchers from Taiwan have developed a new bio-signal monitoring system inside a baseball cap, in order to ease people daily life. This device is wireless, portable and can process information and provides feedback in real time.

Probably this looks like a normal hat, but wait until you put it on. Not only this cap can detect electroencephalogram (EEG) signals from your brain, but also can analyze them. It can even tell you if you are getting tired, hungry, and sleepy while you are driving based on your brain wave patterns. This new piece of technology might be able to lead us to a device where you could control your home equipments just when you think about them. So, when you just think that you need the lights on, they automatically turn on.

“This study details the design, development and testing of a non-invasive mobile and wireless EEG system for continuously monitoring high-temporal resolution brain dynamics without requiring conductive gels applied to the scalp,” researcher Li-Wei Ko from National Chiao-Tung University in Taiwan told PhysOrg.com. “This system has online EEG signal acquisition and real-time signal processing. It can be used in many applications; we just applied it to driving tasks in this work, such as drowsiness.”

Defiantly this new invention will invade our daily life in the future, and make it much easier and safer.
