These $600 smart glasses for helping people focus can track your brain waves and will darken the lenses if they sense you're not concentrating
Neurofeedback is a technique that relies on electrical brain wave sensors. The three sensors on the Narbis glasses go behind each ear and on top of the head.
The glasses also come with an app, which the company says uses a NASA-designed algorithm to track brain waves and identify relaxation, concentration, or distraction.
"In an increasingly connected world where we have distractions all around us, Narbis can help people practice ignoring distractions and maintaining concentration while completing tasks," CEO and founder Devon Greco said in the announcement about the glasses.
Narbis positions its glasses, which also come with a tablet, as a weekly training exercise for your brain. It recommends wearing them two or three times a week for half-hour intervals.
The glasses could "discourage distractibility and reward concentration while reading, working on the computer, studying, or doing homework." Essentially, they would give parents a way to see if their child is daydreaming while they work.
The accompanying app tracks progress, so parents can see if the wearable is actually helping their child improve concentration.
The glasses are available for $590 if you preorder them, or for $690 once they become available in early December.
