The tinfoil hat gets a fashion upgrade: :The Anti-NIS Accessories, created by Lisa Kori Chung and Caitlin Morris for Benettons research studio Fabrica, are all about maintaining the privacy of your own thoughts. The three pieces were designed with something called Neuro-Imaging Surveillance (NIS) in mind. Neurologists actually use surveillance neuroimaging to monitor patients neural activity in hopes of providing better care. The word surveillance, of course, can be a bit of a touchy one. The paradigm of clothing as protector and concealer is slowly shifting: increasingly, our bodies are becoming more and more public (through security practices as well as fashion choices), while new forms of neuro-imaging technology are developing that may one day allow for surveillance and interception of the contents of our minds, Chung said. Anti-NIS Accessories is a series of proposed objects designed as a form of clothing that maintains privacy of thought and action. news.cnet/8301-17938_105-57617300-1/wearable-accessories-keep-your-thoughts-safe/
