“Summary: A century after the first human brainwave recording, EEG technology has revolutionized our understanding of brain function, particularly in diagnosing epilepsy.
Experts now predict that within a generation, EEG could become a widespread tool for cognitive enhancement, early diagnosis, and communication for those with severe disabilities. However, ethical concerns about privacy and the commercialization of EEG data loom large as the technology advances.
Key Facts:
EEG Evolution: From epilepsy diagnosis to potential cognitive enhancement.
Future Use: Real-time brain abnormality diagnosis within 10-14 years.
Ethical Concerns: Privacy and ethical issues in commercial EEG applications.”
