It monitors electrical brain activity to spot patterns that could be early indicators of brain conditions. BrainWaveBank has developed a headset that could help diagnose dementia. Users wear the headset for between 15 and 20 minutes a day, while playing games on a phone or tablet. The device is called the NeuroSky and it uses an array of sensors to detect changes in brain activity. The Belfast-based start-up is backed by Innovate UK, the government's innovation agency. The product is undergoing testing and could be on the market within three years' time.
