brain scanner


A new device called the brain scanner provides a window into the workings of the human brain. Developed by SAM Technology in San Francisco, the scanner creates a map of your brain that reveals how it functions as you perform everyday activities. This map can show you when your noggin is distracted, fatigued, or concentrating hard on, say, sinking that putt.



With this technology, a small computer in your car could tell you when it's time to pull over, because you're too tired to drive. Although the brain scanner is currently big enough to need wheels, it should be the size of a cellular phone in a matter of months.
