Bored disappointed frustrated angry or whatever be your
mood, you can now switch it according to your need with a wearable device.
This new digital device or being called the world first
digital drug, can zap your brain to make you feel either energized or calm.
Jamie tyler introduced a product at CES named thync.
Thync is called as a safe digital version of drugs, user can
himself connect this device onto their front temple and second connected pad goes in a spot farther back on your
head, with its location varying depending on whether you're using the calming
or energizing mode.
This unit is light and comfortable though it would be odd wearing it in
public and trying to pop up your brain, so better use this in your home.
Thync has some similarities to TENS units and it uses
neurosignaling to
either calm you down or energise you.
"Neurosignaling uses electronic or ultrasonic waveforms to signal
neural pathways in the brain. When specific pathways are stimulated, they
trigger a shift in your state of mind or energy level."
This product actually uses "low levels of pulsed electrical energy
to signal specific neural pathways, allowing users to dial up or dial down
their stress responses and energy levels." In other words, it zaps
specific parts of your brain to make you either calm down or get motivated (or
both, as these states don't appear to be mutually exclusive)
About 20%of Americans are taking prescription medication
for psychiatric
and mood disorders.
People find electricity being applied to treat depression very
bizarre, but they find swallowing a pill to treat depression or anything else
very natural
Bur reliance on drugs is more cultural than scientific.
This device thync is wireless,and connects to your
smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth (it's iOS only at launch, with an Android
app coming by the end of 2015).
You can control Thync from the official app,
where you can choose the length of your session. You can also adjust the
strength of the brain-zapping there (each program follows a pattern of greater
and lesser intensity, with cycles of peaks and valleys, but you can also
manually raise or lower the overall strength).
The electric pulses which are generated didn’t hurt and are
comfortable
in any way.
Minimum time needed for calmimg effect is 5 minutes, which is even
feasible for busiest people. so you can now take out atleast 5 minutes to get
calm before you leave for office or for any other daily chores. There's also a 10 minute calming option, if you
want to crank it up to a Snoop Dogg level of chill.
According to the founder calming effect is more like as the effects of
ephedrine.
Thync says the product is perfectly safe. It's being marketed as a
lifestyle consumer product, not a medical one, so the FDA isn't regulating it,
but it has been independently approved by the Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL), a
US-based safety organization specializing in electrical devices.
The company does say that different people respond to it in
different
ways, and some people will feel the effects more
after doing it a second or
third time (another similarity to
cannabis).
The device itself (including four
packs of sticky strips, with five strips in each pack) rings up for US$299.
Replacement sticky strips cost $20 for a pack of five
Exactly how many times you can use each strip is going to be a big cost
variable: if it's only a one-off (the official recommendation), then, after
running out of the initial supply, using Thync once a day would cost an extra
$120 per month. But if you can squeeze even three or four quality uses out of
each strip, then that drops down to an extra $30-40 per month for everyday use.
