How does it work?
Operates by using targeted neural stimulation to influence the brain's temperature regulation centres. When the headband is worn, electrodes embedded in the band deliver mild electrical impulses to specific areas of the scalp. These impulses are designed to stimulate the hypothalamus, which plays a key role in regulating body temperature.
The control unit allows users to adjust the intensity and duration of the stimulation, providing a customised cooling experience. Integrated sensors monitor the user's skin temperature and adjust the stimulation parameters to maintain a consistent sensation of coolness.
The rechargeable battery powers the neural stimulation and is designed for long-lasting use, with easy recharging via USB-C.
Bluetooth connectivity enables users to control the headband remotely through a smartphone app, offering convenience and additional functionality.
Preset programs within the app allow users to choose different cooling sensations, from mild to intense, based on their needs and preferences. This technology ensures that the user feels cooler, even in high temperatures, by tricking the brain into perceiving a cooler environment.
Benefits
Although it only creates the perception of heat relief, the neural cooling headband provides benefits for those needing respite from extreme heat. By using neural stimulation, it induces a sensation of coolness, allowing users to feel more at ease without relying on physical cooling methods. This technique ensures comfort even in the most intense heat.
The headband's lightweight and adjustable design ensures ease of wear, making it versatile for various situations, from everyday use to physical activities in high temperatures.
Materials & design
The headband is crafted from soft, breathable materials such as moisture-wicking fabric and hypoallergenic silicone to ensure comfort and extended use. The key components include the neural stimulation electrodes, control unit, and adjustable strap.
The neural stimulation electrodes are strategically placed within the headband to target specific areas of the scalp that influence the brain's temperature regulation centres. The control unit houses the electronics and battery, allowing users to adjust the intensity and duration of the neural stimulation. The adjustable strap ensures a secure and comfortable fit for various head sizes.
Additional features:
Rechargeable battery with USB-C charging capability for convenience.
Bluetooth connectivity for remote control via a smartphone app.
Preset programs for different levels of cooling sensation, tailored to individual preferences.
