“JAPAN INNOVATION DAY 2024” where more than 100 advanced companies exhibited
ASCII STARTUP’s “JAPAN INNOVATION DAY 2024” was held on March 1, 2024 at Bellesalle Shiodome, Tokyo. Leading technology companies, including startups, gathered here and exhibited their technologies and products. Several companies have already been presented on @DIME and I was able to discover their evolution. Let's introduce a new technology that could change our lives.
CyberneX's earpiece-style electroencephalogram reveals the hidden truth
“Cybernex» manufactures an earpiece-type electroencephalograph called “XHOLOS Ear Brain Interface”. In addition to the over-ear type, we also released an adhesive type that allows you to listen while listening without blocking your ears. Software is also evolving by applying AI technology.
“In order to measure brain waves, we had to use an electroencephalograph like a knitted cap, put gel on the head and rest because it makes noise when you move. However, it can easily measure brain waves with the precision of 'a medical device. It is also noise resistant, wireless and can be used in places without electricity.
So, what exactly are electroencephalograms used for in our lives?
“By measuring your brain waves, you can find out what you are aware of within yourself. Brain waves can clarify things that you cannot clearly decide for yourself, such as the type of music you listen to to help you concentrate or what aroma helps you relax. “There are many cases where companies ask how people can relax, which is why we offer a relaxation level measurement service that allows you to compare your relaxation level. using just an electroencephalogram and an iPad with a dedicated app,” said CSO Ryosuke Izumizu.
You can easily measure which aromas help you relax at the store, visualize the effects of the products and suggest the top three recommendations. Such a service already exists. There are also relaxation salons that measure the degree of relaxation in real time and offer more effective treatments. The mental state of relaxation can now be expressed as brain waves, allowing more precise judgments to be made, for example by measuring whether hot or cold compresses are more relaxing. There is no doubt that many more new products and services will be created using CyberneX's brainwave information.
“XHOLOS Free” is an electroencephalogram that uses a sticker that can be stuck behind the ear so that measurements can be taken while speaking without blocking the ears.
This is the “XHOLOS Sounds” earphone type electroencephalogram. Supports music playback and also has a microphone
In comparison mode, you can compare two brain waves and view the measurement results.
Recommendation mode displays the top 3 recommended products based on the measurement results.
A function to explain measurement results in an easy-to-understand manner based on Chat GPT-4 was added in 2023.
