This is quite an interesting idea. ARS is a new platform which allows you to give and receive critique on photos completely anonymously. Created by Eric Kim, the system is designed to help photographers get some genuine feedback without all the smoke blowing and fluff we often see on platforms such as Facebook.

Researchers at Radboud University in the Netherlands have developed a technology that turns your brainwaves into photographic images. And it does it with so much accuracy that it’s creepy and extremely impressive at the same time....
