Recent research has enabled EEG readings with a sensor 4mm away from the skin:

In 2013, an extremely sensitive atomic magnetometer was designed that does not require stringent shielding from the Earth's own field:

I have discovered super sensitive sensors that can be flown in airplanes and can detect submarines, their screws turning and inside machinery:

One would think that this would support the possibility of extracting EEG using this technology. 

If one could remotely extract biological signals using non-invasive technologies that allow for a full range of mobility and free-ranging activities in an un-shielded open environment, then there are a tremendous number of opportunities that would become available in the rescue, policing, medical, commercial, and military arenas, such as; neuroprosthetics, exoskeletons, sleep/hibernation systems, pain reduction systems, threat detection systems, interrogation devices, dictation devices, secure/silent speech, games/simulations, advanced security devices, monitoring EKG/EEG readings of those in critical care units, increasing mobility of those suffering from limiting or confining ailments or seizures, etc.
