Main characteristics
The Neurocam is a wearable system which detects electrical impulses of the brain. These operations works based on EEG. Neurocam is being developed by Neurowear, the Japanese company that is engaged by development wearable technology.
The hardware is a combination of Neurosky´s Mindwave Mobile and a new customized brainwave sensor with BMD chip. Neurocam capture brainwave through this hardware and after that represent this data by iPhone. The Neurocam iPhone app assigns the EEG data value from 0 to 100. When the data hits 60, the camera automatically records five second long GIF clips of these scenes. The scene is mark with timestamp and location and then is saved. Scenes can also be taken manually under the „manual mode“. GIF clip can be shared on social website, mainly on Facebook.
Project Neurocam was introduced on Human sensing 2013 conference in Yokohoma (Japan) by Japanese company Neurowear. Previous project of Neurowear is called "Necomimi" and works similar way. Necomimi is a headband with a MindWave brain wave sensor and similar to Neurocam, Necomimi uses EEG readings to detect the headband-wearer's focus levels.
Purpose
Neurocam is system that is able to monitor humans emotions and allows them to become integrated with devices. This the way how it is possible enhacement human cognition.
