JUST IN: Apple Patent Reveals Earbuds Designed to Monitor Brain Activity
Apple has filed patent US20230225659A1 describing earbuds capable of measuring biosignals from inside and around the ear, including electroencephalography (EEG) to monitor electrical brain activity, along with other signals like muscle movement, eye movement, and heart rate. The patent explains that placing electrodes in or near the outer ear allows more accurate readings with less visibility and device movement, raising concerns about how much data these devices could collect and how powerful this technology could become.
