Your Brain on Google Glass From: Wireless Design Magazine - 08/15/2016 "Smart" eyewear - that can integrate augmented reality with your own, feed you live information about your surroundings and even be used in the operating room - is no longer the stuff of science fiction. Wearable displays also have the potential to enhance cognitive ergonomics, or more simply, make it less mentally taxing to complete certain tasks. But before technologies like Google Glass become a part of daily life, engineers need a way to monitor exactly how they affect the brain in everyday situations. At Drexel University, researchers have developed a portable system that can do just that. The system uses functional near-infrared spectroscopy, or fNIRS, to measure a person's brain activity. The applications for fNIRS are seemingly endless - from training air traffic controllers and drone operators, to studying how students with disabilities learn best, or why different people are more receptive to certain Super Bowl commercials.
