Apple has filed a patent for using AirPods to read electrical signals from the brain.

Integrating technology with the brain is no longer science fiction.
Many companies are investing significant effort and capital into developing this field, with Elon Musk's Neuralink leading the way with particularly impressive results.
If the thought of what Apple plans to do with the data your brain transmits is keeping you up at night, the goal probably won't be to read your every thought (at least not officially 😉).
The earbuds will, however, be able to detect your mood — and use that to tailor music recommendations or adjust the tone in which the voice assistant addresses you.
