Ready for an epic brainwave dance-off between Jobs’ Jets and Rubin’s Sharks? Well, put down your shivs and come back to that alpha state because it’s gonna take a short while. Developed by KDDI’s R&D labs, this prototype mind-monitoring, sensor-laden headband connects wirelessly on your Android device to tell you just how wired you’re. All it takes is a straightforward 30-second game of “mash mash mash the little green robot” (amongst others) to translate your focused and relaxed states into an easily readable brain pattern chart. The tech’s nothing we have not already seen the ominously named NeuroSky do for the iOS platform , nevertheless it might help to get those fanboy flames a-blazing. After all, if mobile OS turf wars aren’t getting your neurons in a tizzy, you’re able to always spend half a minute contemplating your honey — or actual honey. Whatever floats your neural boat. Video demonstration after the break.
