#2I 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.

#4It'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.

#5Haha yeah which is why I don’t wear them.
Call me superstitious but two electronic earpieces communicating through your brain with one another, don’t like the idea.
Oh and surprise we can actually scan your brain.

Thankfully we're nowhere near crossing it.

Even the most sophisticated purpose made medical research tools can't do this in a way that you are imagining. If somehow Apple accomplished mind reading devices in their spare time I'd be so amazed that I'd actually not even care how invasive it is. At least for awhile.

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

Trolling on HN is an abomination.
