Apple has a patent for AirPods that could allow them to monitor the brain activity of more than 100 million users
“Apple's patent describes what you're seeing not as a wireless headphone, but as a biosensing signal device, and notes that, quote, "Brain activity can be monitored using electrodes placed on the scalp of a user."’
This is real
Apple filed US patent application US20230225659A1 called “Biosignal Sensing Device Using Dynamic Selection of Electrodes.” It was published in July 2023
“Brain activity can be monitored using electrodes placed on the scalp of a user. The electrodes may in some cases be placed inside or around the outer ear of the user.”
If they go through with this and the patent becomes a product, the data could be used for a lot of applications
Content like ads, playlists, videos would be tuned to your engagement or emotional response in the moment
Gaming and accessibility would also be possible with brain-computer interface elements. Things like adaptive difficulty, hands-free controls
