Cranial resistivity headphone activation

Headphones connected to some sort of music player which puts a minute voltage across the two earpieces and only plays music when the measured resistance across the earpieces is close to the pre-calibrated resistance of your head. So, when you take your headphones off, the music is paused.

       In some cases, it would sense an open- circuit.

       This fails to take in to account the larger headed gentleman.
Also, I often prefer to listen to music using one headphone, so that I can pay semi-attention to the world around me. How would that work?

Did you miss the bit where it says 'pre-calibrated'?

       Yes [angel]. Yes I did.

       You could put two contacts on each 'phone and measure the resistance of the ear/side of head (depending on size of headphones). You'd need less power and wouldn't end up shoving it through your brain... unless that's the point?

       [st3f] that might be a better idea actually
