New headset reads minds and uses AR, AI and machine learning to help people with locked-in-syndrome communicate with loved ones again

If you're in need of a good tech news story today, Cognixion may just have you covered as it announced the commencement of clinical trials for its Axon-R headset.

Cognixion's Axon-R headset is a device designed to read brain activity using EEG as a direct input for controls.

It's one of many new BCIs that are hoping to improve people's lives.
