• New Startup - Halo Neuroscience produced a sport headphone to aid in stimulating muscles through electrifying the brain.
• “tDCS” refers to transcranial direct current stimulation, a delivery system used in stimulating and enhancing neuronal connections, ultimately exciting muscle response.
• Halo Neuroscience, created the headphones primarily for increasing workout performances in elite athletes.
• Electrodes attached to the head bands of the device sends electric pulses to the brain through the scalp, stimulating neuronal activity
• During research performed by Halo Neuroscience, it is found that administration of electric pulses to the brain shows significant enhancement of fine motor skills in adults.
• This device could show immense potential for persons with damaged CNS function, including but not limited to patients of paralysis, caused by advents of stroke.
