Necomimi can detect and interpret the emotional state of the wearer, expressing it through four distinct movements.The ears shoot up with the wearer is nervous or focused, but flatten when the person is relaxed. During a specific activity like a game or reading a book, in which the user may be relaxed and focused at the same time, the ears swirl around in a circular motion. When brain activity is low, they flap gently back and forth. This technology could be adapted as a communication tool for those who may be reclusive or shy around strangers. For now, however, Necomimi is aimed at the curious and the fashion-conscious.In Switzerland, scientists are adapting neurowave technology for wheelchair users, while in Germany, its being tested as a mean for operating a car.
