• Resumen

  • A new software project, nicknamed Phylter, checks on their mental state before letting emails or text messages through to their device. The software screens out these low-priority distractions when it senses that they are focused on another, more important task. Phylter relies on functional near-infrared spectroscopy to read brain activity. A band worn around the forehead beams light into the head and measures what's reflected.
