An ear clip that nudges the body towards rest.
The technology that revitalises the nervous system, in its home auricular version. The vagus nerve is the road on which the brain tells the body to slow down; one branch of it runs through the ear, through the tragus, the cartilage in front of the ear canal. The device sends fine impulses there, felt as a pleasant tingle. It is not driven from the app: the session is guided, you switch the device on.
An ear clip, the size of an earphone. It sends fine pulses along a branch of the vagus nerve and nudges the body towards rest.
It's the one we use too. Guided sessions run on the same device you have at home, so what you practise between sessions adds up.
The vagus nerve is how the brain tells the body to slow down. One of its branches runs through the tragus, the cartilage in front of the ear canal. You reach it from there with nothing invasive.
It carries the CE mark as a medical device, for exactly this use. The other three are training devices; this is another category, with everything that means in testing and paperwork.
You wear it while you read, work or watch something. 30 to 60 minutes a day, without rearranging your schedule. Which is why it gets kept up, unlike methods that require you to sit and do nothing else.
In studies, an hour-long session measurably changed heart rate variability against placebo. If you also have the Polar band, you see that on your own chart, not only in the research.
The nervous system isn't regulated in one session, but by repetition at fixed hours, week after week. A device you reach for in the evening, at home, without moving anything else in your day, is the only way that repetition actually happens.
The device on its own is a tingle at the ear. How high you take the intensity, how long you hold it, which time of day, and what we're tracking: that gets settled in the guided sessions, where the therapist is with you the first time.
Fifty minutes with an institute therapist, in the platform's video room, with the clip on your ear.
The device is the same. What you choose is how many. The second only makes sense if two of you use it.
Device, ear clip, travel case and charger
This is the one you need
The whole kit, with everything you need to start the day it arrives. For one person this is the choice: there is no simpler or cheaper version of the same device.
Two complete kits
If two of you use it
Two devices, a little cheaper than bought separately. It makes sense in a couple or a household where both work on their own; it isn't shared like a chest strap, because it's worn daily, at the same hour.
Tell us where you are, so we know what to show you.
If the tingle becomes unpleasant, lower the intensity. As with any electrical stimulation, ask your doctor if you wear a pacemaker or another implanted device.
Everything starts from the BrainMap assessment, a qEEG scan of over 80,000 points and 47 brain areas. The protocol comes out of it: what is trained, with what, and in what order. The home devices carry that protocol on between sessions; they do not replace it.
Which protocol suits you, what is trained and for how long, is decided with a specialist. The device carries on what was decided there; without that, it is a graph on a screen.
