Helmet that transforms emotions into sounds – ElTiempo.com

The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), the company Starlab and the University of Barcelona (UB) had a innovative system that converts brain waves of emotions in sound Wednesday, which will allows people with severe disabilities, such as those with cerebral palsy communicate. ‘Brain Polyphony’, consists of a helmet (‘Enobio helmet’) with neurosensors and heart gauges that transmit electrical impulses from the brain, the beats and muscle activity to a computer that analyzes the emotional reaction in real time on the basis of parameters .

Depending on the intensity of brain waves, heart rate, muscle activity or variation, the device measures whether a person can not be expressed either verbally or physically feel positive emotions ( happiness) or negative (sadness or anger) in varying intensity.

This system, which is being developed since March, has been tested with two patients with brain impairment with good results.
