Balder Onarheim explains how the Plato headset is a wearable technology designed to spark creativity in lawyers, accountants and advertising executives.

 

How would you like to more easily "turn on" brainstorming in your mind? To prompt your brain's ability to flow between divergent and convergent thinking? This is something that Balder Onarheim and his research partner Morten Friis-Olivarius of theCopenhagen Institute of NeuroCreativity have given some thought to over the past few years. They have developed a type of brain stimulation device, a headset calledPlato. They are beyond the beta testing stage, have completed initial testing with over one-hundred users, and have 3D printed hand crafted headsets. The objective is for the Plato device to be used by a range of people during their work day: engineers, lawyers, advertising marketers and students. For example, at those times when advertising executives need that clever insight in order to produce short and compelling briefs, the Plato headset will come in handy.
