NeuroFocus Mynd Is a Wireless EEG Headset
Have you ever wanted to record exactly what you’re thinking? NeuroFocus’ Mynd is a sensor covered EEG headset that records your thoughts—it captures mental activity 2,000 times per second—and relays that information over Bluetooth. The Mynd’s mind-reading capabilities have applications in the medical field, as a product for people with neurological disabilities, as well as with tracking Internet surfing habits for advertisers and marketers. Compared to other brain-wave monitoring headsets, it doesn’t look too terrible… kind of like you’re wearing a spidery plastic and metal clamshell on your head.

FREEWAY Speakerphone Uses HD Voice Ready Technology and 3 Speakers
The Jabra FREEWAY claims to be the first Bluetooth speakerphone to be HD Voice compliant and use three speakers. It can be controlled using voice recognition for tasks like answering, dialing, ending, or rejecting phone calls, and an automatic power feature keeps it in standby mode when you’re in the car, and powered off once you get out. HD Voice should provide better quality audio during calls, as long as your phone is compatible. It’ll be available in the US in May for $129.

Water-Powered LED Color-Changing Shower Head Provides Mood Lighting While You Wash
For about $13, you can change your shower into a glowing, color-changing wonderland. OK, that’s a bit of an exaggeration; it’s a bit more practical than a bathroom discotheque. This particular LED color-changing shower head changes from green to blue to red depending on the temperature of the water, so you immediately know if it’s chilly (below 90 F), just right (91 to 105 F), or on the hot side (107 to 113 F). Any hotter than that, and it flashes red to let you know that you might scald your skin a bit if you don’t make it colder.
