Back when I had to write a lot for my courses, I was wondering the same about the usefulness of EEGs [1]. At times all I wanted was to lie on my bed, point a projector to the ceiling, and write.
Alas the tech/understanding of neuroscience is just not here yet, but maybe it would be in a few decades?
There's a lot more in the way of interesting discussion in the link if you would like to read more.

- hackcasual 9y agoEEGs (at least non surgical ones) provide only the highest level information about what's going on inside of brains. It's a bit like looking at a city as you're flying 10,000 feet above it. You can figure out when it's rush hour, but you're not going to be able to tell what the most popular restaurant is. The most sophisticated EEG systems actually train your brain to use the EEG, no the other way around.
