Both the United States and China have had
noninvasive EEG headsets with read capabilities used in
school settings, usually in pilot studies for devices
designed to measure focus and attention (Johnson,
2017; Shen, 2019). However, Chinese state-owned com-
panies that run electricity/power plants and train opera-
tions have already reported using this same kind of
headset to monitor workers’ attention or sleep/awake
states (Chen, 2018). This application is also advertised
by companies operating in the United States, but it is not
known whether any commercial entities are using them
(EMOTIV, n.d.). While the efficacy of these headsets is
potentially low because of the difficulties of interpreting
brain activity from EEG, this signals that Chinese state-owned companies are more likely to use these types of
devices to monitor workers, potentially driving BCI
adoption for commercial purposes (Winick, 2018)

a specific U.S. university has developed a
noninvasive BCI to allow normal people to use only their mind to control an aircraft.
