Really impressive technology! It could be genuinely revolutionary for people with brain diseases and injuries. This is exactly the kind of cool stuff that TED(x) should be supporting and promoting.

14 years later and I don’t see this revolutionizing the world still.

This is not a god helmet! The concept has been confused.

Tan Le is awesome. The Emotiv headset was awesome, I had one.

I'm interested to see how this tech could be applied to music composition and djing. I had purchased a headset in 2011 but eventually lost the wireless usb dongle to connect it. I was met with a lot of skepticism to whether the device even actually worked. In the future if Tan Le decides to invent another headset but geared to music composition and performance I will gladly try it out again.

Thanks for that, the koren helmet is just what I was looking for, although I do love TED talks and will probably enjoy this one. Is it true that the helmet turns off a "forty hertz component" and with it the sense of self?

Gratz on the recent Kickstart!

U done great job.

one word: awesome!

She is from Vietnam.

I was looking for content on Dr. Micheal Persinger’s God Helmet, not a talk on a completely unrelated topic that does not even mention “God helmet”. Is this clickbait or just absent-minded titling?

There's people who take the stairs, and people who take the elevator to the 2nd floor.... think of that like a Zen Koan

@GMLSX Stephen Hawking's super genius loaded thoughts could burn out this device. It might be risky.

all this is 1st genration, imagine the potential and promise in future desings!! the way to go to drive the market for this will have to be video games. relatively affordable, and capable of reaching a huge audiance. now picture your kids or grnadkids battling pokemon robots on your coffe table with their thoughts. or maybe holograms. less moving parts= less manufacturing costs

So basically if someone looses the legs you could build new ones and use this device so they could walk again

Wonder what frequency this operate at...

People are going to google the device that creates simulated near death experiences via magnets and find this electroencephalogram instead. It's like calling a video of you driving around New Orleans "Under Sea Voyage."

One of the wonderful thing I see on TED is the sheer diversity of ideas and perspectives and ethnicity of the speakers. I really wish that my country, which unfortunately still practices race policies would learn from this and recognizes that letting race to guide one's action is really dumb.

@1000wrongdecisions Just out of curiosity, what country are you from?

July 5, 2014: Imagine one application of this as converting the device into a ground or space satellite and it can target any person's mind anywhere around the world mind controlling them, reading their memories or thoughts, inserting thoughts, etc. By the way if Emotiv is in need of paid or voluntary human test subject, I want you to know that I'm available as long as it is safe and painless?????

So why was this talk titled the God Helmet again???

won't be long and the handicapped will demand these at libraries under the 501 handicapped laws (in the US)

disliked because of the name God Helmet, which is the name of the helmet whose creation was ed by Dr Michael Persinger and which claims to stimulate the brain to sense presence. This is what the name God Helmet suits to.

July 5, 2014: The device can also be used to probe or read memories or thoughts of people and catching criminlas and law offenders.

Did they ever try it on Stephen Hawking?

yeah its iBrain version 1.0... when it gets to version 4.0 I'll be standing in line with my fist full of dollars. The world will be a pretty weird place in the 20's I can tell you!

Stephen Hawking and about 10 million others needs to get his hands on one of those... IU wonder if that guy in the UK that want to be allowed to die and has locked in syndrome has heard of it? He might change his mind based on new information...

Wow

Hah, over ten years on and no one has changed the title of the video. This presentation is cool, but has nothing to do with the God Helmet (or Koren Helmet).

@cdeleon70 genetics.

dmt helmet

was she running windows 7 on a mac?!

Jcifrit wrong. God helmet can combine quarks with electromagnetism, and manipulate gravity; cannot create gravity because Higgs boson. Duh. All by brain waves. Good luck tan le!

Don't waste your time people, this is not the Persinger god helmet.

apple computer fail...
