EEG HEADSETS: RULE THE FUTURE WITH YOUR MIND

EEG headsets (Electroencephalography) work by collecting electrical activity from the scalp. They measure voltage fluctuations resulting from ionic current flows within the brain and use this electrical activity to communicate with your computer, apps and other devices.
This is truly a fantastic technology that will change our brainwaves and consciousness in the future. The true art of these EEG headsets is that you need to focus and become familiar with what state of mind you are in. The more focused you are the better these EEG headsets work. This technology will reward a society that learns to become mindful of how they feel and how well they know themselves. Your brainwaves don't lie. If you are anxious or distracted you will have less control over your results.
FUTURE IMPLICATIONS:
This technology could be the future of what I call an "introspection economy." Deeply self-aware humans who have greater control over their minds and attention could rule machines, computers and technology better than their distracted human peers. This is an exciting direction for psychology, and philosophy and could assist humanity in becoming a more reflective society. EEG technology could also increase our appreciation for directed and authentic intention. What do you think about EEG technology?

Why the Future Will Almost Certainly Be Better than the Present

Five hundred years ago there was no telephone. No telegraph, for that matter. There was only a postal system that took weeks to deliver a letter. Communication was only possible in any fluent manner between people living in the same neighborhood. And neighborhoods were smaller, too. There were no cars allowing us to travel great distances in the blink of an eye. So the world was a bunch of disjointed groups of individuals who evolved pretty much oblivious to what happened around them.

Where is the Future?

Like the road you can see ahead of you as you drive on a journey, I suggest the future is embedded in emerging, continuous space-time. Although you’re not there yet, you can see the road in front of you. In the rear-view mirror stretches the landscape of the past, the world you have been through and still remember.
Transparency 2013: Good and bad news about banking, guns, freedom and all that

“Bank secrecy is essentially eroding before our eyes,” says a recent NPR article. ”I think the combination of the fear factor that has kicked in for not only Americans with money offshore, countries that don’t want to be on the wrong side of this issue and the legislative weight of FATCA means that within three to five years it will be exceptionally difficult for any American to hide money in any financial institution.”
