Japanese electronics firm Neurowear has created a set of fluffy ears that apparently respond to the wearer's emotions. The Neocomimi works with a headband that goes round the user's forehead and monitors brain waves. A small computer then supposedly works out what kind of mood the person is in and changes the angle of the ears with a small motor. When the user is sad the ears flop down, if they are concentrating they stand up, wiggle around if the wearer is amused and go flat if they are tired.

　　日本电子公司Neurowear最近发明了一副“猫耳朵”，用以实时表达佩戴者的喜怒哀乐。据了解，这个叫做Neocomimi的“猫耳朵”连接到一个发箍上，以监测脑电波，随后一台小电脑会分析脑电波表达的情绪，“猫耳朵”随之做出相应动作。例如，佩戴者心情悲伤时，“猫耳朵”会耷拉下来；集中精力时，“猫耳朵”会竖起来；心情愉快时，“猫耳朵”会来回摆动；身心疲倦时，“猫耳朵”会平躺着。
