Scientists in Taiwan, China have developed a electroencephalogram signal-monitoring device that fits inside a baseball hat. Hence, absolutely hilarious headlines like "A baseball cap that reads your mind." They went to the trouble to develop the kit in order to make it easier to study people's reactions in various situations. For example, to study people's driving behavior when drowsy. How it works:
The cap contains five embedded dry electrodes on the wearer's forehead, and one electrode behind the left ear, that acquire EEG signals.

People have been experimenting with using brainwaves to control computers for a couple of decades, but now "a team of researchers from Taiwan has designed the new bio-signal monitoring system inside a baseball cap with the goal of making it convenient and easy to use in everyday life," reports Physorg.com .

We didnât think it was possible, but we have in fact developed a way to delegate vital bits of the cognitive process. Researchers from the National Chiao-Tung University, National Cheng-Kung University, and the University of California, San Diego, have developed a cap that can detect brain signals and tell you if youâre too sleepy to drive! Amazing as it may sound, but the brain-computer interface (BCI) system can be potentially used in developing technologies that will, in the future, allow you to control home electronics like TVs, computers, air conditioners, etc, by merely thinking about it!

While this might look like an ordinary baseball hat, a closer look reveals that it has a bunch of electronics jammed into the back and a wire connecting it behind the ear of the wearer. That's your first tip-off that this hat will do more than shield your eyes from the sun and give you hat head. It's a hat that can actually read the EEG signals from your brain, able to tell when you're too sleepy to drive or, with a bit more work, allow you to do things like turn the TV on and off. It's much like other EEG readers that claim to allow you to control things with your brain, but this one is wireless and portable.

It may look like one of those iPod hats or something worse , but this baseball cap is more sophisticated--in its technology, if not fashion sense.
The cap is designed to analyze the brain's electroencephalogram (EEG) waves, determining whether you're too fatigued to drive safely. It is just one use for a device developed by researchers at various Taiwan universities and the University of California at San Diego, who hope to expand the technology for applications in myrid other facets of everyday life.

Prepare yourself for what may be the most powerful remote ever made: the mind-reading hat.
Scientists from Taiwan have just finished developing the first protocol of this thing. Aside from a rather obvious antenna jutting out the back, the hat looks stylish enough. But this baby isn't about fashion; it's about function. Inside, its electrodes can monitor the EEG signals from your brain and translate them into action.
So far, the hat's been tested to read how alert users are and tell them whether they should be driving.

Over the years, we've seen-and been somewhat skeptical about-various biofeedback devices for computer control. We don't know if this Japanese prototype presents any breakthroughs in reliability for that purpose, but we do like that it's wireless and that its initial claim is reasonably modest-monitoring brainwave activity to wake you up when you're doing drowsing-incompatible tasks, such as driving. Plus it's housed in a baseball cap, so you look reasonably cool wearing it. If that also meant we could take it to Wrigley Field and secretly use it to control the pitching, we'd buy it in a heartbeat.
