The heavy global investment in military neuroscience is beginning to trickle down into the consumer market with an array of inexpensive devices that promise the ability to track brainwaves for a variety of applications.
Naturally, the narrative being put forth to convince people to have their minds invaded focuses on safety and convenience.
Enter the Neuro Car; it’s not just a video game.
Nissan recently unveiled its Nismo smart watch that can monitor a driver’s biometric information.
The watch and car will be in constant communication, your car can update you via your watch whenever it needs an oil change or its tires rotated. Bad at remembering your service times? It will remind you.
What’s more it’s not just monitoring the car – it’s monitoring your vital signs, your heart rate, brainwave activity and skin temperature, allowing you to see how much adrenaline you worked up doing your best track, as well as improving safety. In the future it will be able to monitor your brain condition to warn in case of brain damage and alert paramedics if needed. Falling skin temperature, diminished brain activity and a slower heart rate will also alert the car that you’re getting drowsy and the car, in turn, will wake you up and inform you that it’s time to get off the road.
