Portable Brain Scanner
A new device by Hitachi enables brainscans outside the laboratories. The portable brain scanner consists of a headset and a controller, that stores the data or sends it to a computer via wifi. A single computer can monitor several brain scanners. So it will be possible to monitor brain activity of subjects interacting with each other. Hitachi is also working on brain-machine interfaces.
In the future we are probably going to see smaller headsets, that might give you the power to control all the gadgets around you by your will. Meanwhile neuromarketing researchers will probably use the scanners to learn more about our shopping habits.
