Patent attributes
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for controlling electronic devices based on detected brain activity. For example, a system includes a wearable over-the-ear electronic device has a set of dry EEG sensors, a camera, a processor, and programming instructions. The programming instructions cause the processor to receive images from the camera, process the images to identify features corresponding to a known device, and receive brain-wave signals from the EEG sensors. The system compares the brain-wave signals to measure a level of brain activity. Upon detection of both (a) a feature corresponding to the known device and (b) a level of brain activity that deviates from a baseline by at least a threshold level, the system generates a command signal configured to cause the known device to actuate and transmits the command signal to a controller for the known device.
