“LA-based designer Lauren McCarthy describes her invention as a “wearable conditioning device”.
Beneath the cheerful knitted woollen hat exterior, the ominous-sounding ‘pain feedback’ is applied thanks to metal spike if you are in the wrong mood.
Lauren explains: “An enclosed bend sensor attaches to the cheek and measures smile size, a servo motor moves a metal spike into the head inversely proportional to the degree of smile.

“Through repeated use of this conditioning device you can train your brain to smile all the time.”
