# 4. Developing the eye-mouse: new sense-based tools
1) Biobeats
An app that makes music from the user's heartbeat. Touch the camera with your finger, it measures your pulse, and converts it into music. Used differently, it can handle music recommendation or help control emotional change.
2) Mico
Brainwave-measuring headphones from the company that previously made brainwave-controlled moving tails and ears. They read the user's emotional state and select and play music to match — measuring drowsiness, focus, stress, and more.
