      These earbuds can help prevent car accidents caused by people getting too tired or drowsy on the road, or even in other situations when suddenly sleeping due to fatigue or boredom can prove dangerous or be an issue. If the researchers succeed, the technology can also be potentially added to other mainstream earbuds, showing how EEG and advanced health monitoring can become standard to personal audio devices.

      I applaud the invention of drowsiness detecting earbuds and if they work as described I can see them saving a lot of lives on the road. But I think the true value of these will be how they’ll allow wives and girlfriends across the world to make it through an entire movie on Netflix. No more rewinding 5 times or for their partners to explain the ending the next day.
