Mico, Mood-Sensing Headphones by Neurowear

Neurowear, the company behind the Necomimi mind-controlled cat ears, premiered its latest project at SXSW 2013 in Austin. Mico — music inspiration from your subconsciousness — is a pair of headphones that senses the wearer’s mood and communicates with a smartphone app to play appropriate music.

“mico” frees the user from having to select songs and artists and allows users to encounter new music just by wearing the device. The device detects brainwaves through the sensor on your forehead. Our app then automatically plays music that fits your mood.
