You’ve just closed a huge deal, beat a seemingly impossible team, or finally got a date with that girl you’ve been staring at in the coffee shop for the last few months. You’re excited. You feel like you can take on the world. To help make the moment more magical, you whip out your MP3 player and frantically scroll through your thousands of songs, looking for either “Eye of the Tiger” or “Final Countdown.”
Your fumbling has taken the edge off of your excitement and now you just feel silly.
I have to admit, I wish my own life had a soundtrack for moments like these. Metallica for when I’m driving, Portishead for when I’m depressed, Korn for when I feel like smashing things with my forehead. In fact, I have been wishing for my own personal soundtrack since I first started imagining John Williams songs playing as I trudged through forests (I swear, it felt like Endor).
And now someone has gone and done just that.
MUSINAUT, a company based out of Paris, France, has developed a brain scanner (the brainwave) that monitors your moods in order to play appropriate music. So whether you’re feeling stressed, sad, happy or angry, the appropriate music will begin to play over the headphones.
