Xiaomi: engineers develop headband that would allow to control devices with brain waves | inventions | Spain | Mexico | Colombia | TECHNOLOGY

During the third online hackathon of Xiaomi, the MiGu headband was presented, which was developed with the aim that users can control devices with their brain. This device uses three sensors to record electrical signals from the organ.

“According to Xiaomi, what stands out most of the MiGu headband is that it can control smart homes and monitor driving fatigue, through brain waves. The project engineer expressed that he hopes that everyone can enjoy an ‘intelligent life’, in an interactive and more natural way.”, as reported IT Home.

Diadem was built using a 3D printer. This is adjusted to the head by means of a strap. Likewise, like other devices, it can be connected to cell phones or computers to perform functions, such as increasing the volume of speakers, among others.

How does the Xiaomi MiGu headband work?

The headband has three sensors and two connectors for the earlobes. “The engineering team said there are three points on the MiGu headband that can get electrical signals. Using the difference in energy between the points, the headband can essentially perform an EEG of the wearer”, adds the medium.

The developers took emotional states into account to train the device. “It is worth mentioning that people produce different brain waveforms in different emotional states. The engineering team trained the MiGu headband using manual annotations to enable it to recognize different brain waves.”, adds the portal.

When will the Xiaomi MiGu headband be on sale?

What was presented by the engineers of the Chinese firm it’s a prototype. I mean, it’s just developing. What was shown at the hackathon was the progress they had made on the project. Therefore, they have not yet explored everything they could do with this headband.

Likewise, not guaranteed to hit the market, as many devices do not see the light for various reasons. However, the development of this type of invention helps to generate others that we will use in the future.
