Necomimi and Neurowear

Neurowear is a gadget project organization (not a company) in Japan founded on the concept of the "Augmented Human Body".^[1]

The group's first project, known as Necomimi (from nekomimi (猫耳^?, "cat ear(s)")) is a headband with a MindWave brain wave sensor manufactured by NeuroSky^[2] and motorized cat shaped ears programmed to turn up when the wearer concentrates and to turn down when he or she relaxes.

In November 2011, Time Magazine selected necomimi as one of the 50 best inventions of the year.^[4][5]

The commercial version runs for 4 hours on 4 AAA batteries and has interchangeable ears.
