Wouldn't it be cool to have a hat that can read your mind? Sounds impossible, but actually, it could be done.
At first glance, it may look like an ordinary baseball hat. Try inspecting it, however, and you will notice that it is equipped with electronic devices connected by wires behind the ear of the wearer. The hat does more than just offer protection from the heat of the sun; it can also function as an EEG reader. It can interpret signals from your brain, informing itself on data like your rate of alertness; it detects whether you are sleepy or exhausted from working and need to take a rest.
