published on Monday details how a team of neuroscientists, hardware and software engineers, and product experts have been working on a series of prototypes for three years under the name "Project Amber." The goal is to come up with a more objective way to monitor symptoms of depression.
Obi Felton, who heads up the X lab, wrote that Alphabet is relying on a technology known as electroencephalography, or EEG, which measures patterns of electrical activity in the brain. The company has developed new brain-monitoring hardware, which resembles a multi-colored swim cap, as well as tools to analyze the data.
Using EEG to monitor the brain's activity is not a new idea. Plenty of research labs around the world leverage the technology. But Felton wrote that Alphabet thinks it can make the data easier to collect and interpre. Still, that might not tap into the root of the problem, suggests Ginger CEO Russell Glass. Ginger started off by building tools to diagnose mental health conditions, but has since pivoted to providing its users with affordable, online access to therapists and mental health coaches.
