Picture yourself wearing a small device that might instantly infuse you with energy , soothe your nerves or shift your mood. Thync makes wearable devices that send electric stimulation programs – designed to specific areas of the brain and peripheral nervous system – to instigate the desired positive effect. The wearable zaps your brain to make you feel either calm or energized (or both) – and it works exactly as advertised.
Thync claim to be able to change your mood by stimulating nerves in your head and neck with low-level electrical pulses. Thync refers to these pulses as “vibes,” and the user manages them with a companion app.
