The above video interview with Sean Montgomery was recorded at the recent Last HOPE conference where Mr. Montgomery exhibited his line of ‘Vital Threads’ projects.

Included in the collection – the Heart-on Shirt which pulses light in sync with Electrocardiogram readings, the Truth Wristband – displaying galvanic skin response as light/color (literally illuminating the “Truth”), and the Thinking Cap which conveys the wearer’s brainwave spectrum via an RGB LED brain shaped dome-hat.

There is likely no more direct way to express the ‘inner self’ via clothing – Vital Threads
