That s the configuration the belts were in when James Van allen first spotted them using satellite data half a century ago,

and sends information about the user state of mind to a smartphone app, Calm, which is available on both ios and Android.
Interaxon, the company behind the Muse headband and a Mars venture client, claims that sustained use of the device will train one brain to stay more naturally calm and focused.
and starting with 3 to 5 minutes can dramatically help you with mental exercises like meditation. he Muse headband costs $300

#Vision-correcting displays Researchers at the MIT Media Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have developed a new display technology that automatically corrects for vision defects no glasses (or contact lenses) required.
The technique could lead to dashboard-mounted GPS displays that farsighted drivers can consult without putting their glasses on
or electronic readers that eliminate the need for reading glasses among other applications. The first spectacles were invented in the 13th century says Gordon Wetzstein a research scientist at the Media Lab and one of the display's co-creators.
We have a different solution that basically puts the glasses on the display rather than on your head.
The display is a variation on a glasses-free 3-D technology also developed by the Camera Culture group.

#The Helmet That Could Change Football For decades football players have worn rigid unyielding helmets that protected the skull
To address this shortcoming Riddell built a smarter helmet. Available to NFL and college teams
At the crown of the helmet a flexible panel that has a polycarbonate shell attaches with a living hinge.
#Most face masks attach to the helmet at a player s brow but Speedflex s attaches at the sides.
The configuration diffuses any force around the helmet away from one central area. The stainless-steel mask is designed also to flex.
If a high school player loses his helmet rules require him to sit out a play. Riddell s ratchet-lock will make such incidents almost impossible.
Sensors in the helmet collect data on impact force linear or rotational acceleration and location.
