INDICIA-READING SYSTEMS HAVING AN INTERFACE WITH A USER'S NERVOUS SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An indicia-reading system having an interface with a user'"'"'s nervous system, comprising:
- a headset comprising electrodes capable of detecting electromagnetic signals produced in the brain of a user; and
a indicia reader in communication with the headset, comprising (i) a central processing unit and memory (ii) an indicia capturing subsystem for acquiring information about indicia within the indicia-capturing subsystem'"'"'s field of view, and (iii) an indicia-decoding subsystem configured for decoding indicia information acquired by the indicia-capturing subsystem;
wherein the indicia reader is configured to monitor the electromagnetic signals detected by the headset.

Abstract
Indicia-reading systems that interface with a user'"'"'s nervous system include a device with electrodes capable of detecting electromagnetic signals produced in the brain or skeletal muscles of a user. The systems also include a computer with a processor and memory. The computer is configured to monitor the electromagnetic signals that are detected by the electrodes. The computer is also configured to perform operations in response to certain monitored electromagnetic signals. The computer may be an indicia-reading device configured to acquire indicia information in response to certain detected electromagnetic signals. The computer may also be a vehicle-mounted computer configured to sound an alarm in response to certain detected electromagnetic signals.
