neurowear is a Japanese gadget group focusing on the concept of the "Augumented 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 ears, and is programmed so that the ears turn up when the wearer concentrates and turn down when they relax. neurowear plans to release necomimi "internationally later this year at a price of several hundred dollars per unit."[3]
