A HEADSET that delivers an electrical pulse to the brain has been developed to help people sleep better.
Modius Sleep is said to stimulate neurons in the brain linked to kip, cutting time it takes to nod off and helping the user stay asleep for longer.
It is worn for 30 minutes before bedtime.
It is described as working by sending a safe electrical pulse into the vestibular nerve, influencing the areas of the hypothalamus and brain stem that control circadian rhythm and sleep patterns.
The headset has been launched on American crowd-funding website Indiegogo.
Developer Dr Jason McKeown, of Portglenone, Co Antrim, said:”After gathering feedback from thousands of SLIM device users around the world, what we found was that improved sleep was a welcomed bonus reaction and this became our motivation for making specific changes to our technology to create Modius Sleep.
“Our new headset taps into the power of the brain’s hypothalamus, which acts as a mini-computer and influences many areas of the brain, including weight loss and sleep.
