Apple patents suggest future AirPods could monitor biosignals and brain activity

I don't know what to think of that other than it's sort of cool that we can do that with relatively inexpensive consumer electronics as a _secondary_ function.

It's tangential to this but the integration of biofeedback with headphones reminded me something I've dreamed of having off and on for years. I would really love a music player that uses some kind of biological sensing data to help inform what it plays. When I'm exercising I'd love for my phone to be able to figure out my intensity through some metrics (heart rate, respiration, skin temperature, accelerometers) and select faster and/or more intense music as well as adjust the volume based on that information.

Thankfully we're nowhere near crossing it.

No one is going to eavesdrop on your thoughts without drilling a hole through your skull.

Trolling on HN is an abomination.
