Being able to control devices and digital experiences with ones mind is now possible thanks to the '[NextMind](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snap-spectacle)' brain sensing wearable that aims to shake up the market with its futuristic functionality.

The unit works by being positioned onto the cranium and will go to work interpreting brainwaves that are sensed thanks to [noninvasive electroencephalogram (EEG) technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muse-s-athena) within. The device can be worn and used with minimal training to make it suitable for users of all kinds instead of just prosumers seeking the next-generation of control.

The 'NextMind' brain sensing wearable boasts a completely noninvasive design that can be worn on the head for extended periods to control digital experiences including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and beyond.
