When you think you've had enoughs with technology on your 'plate' the more surprises you get.This time a new technology ,thync, promises to help its users “conquer life” by allowing them to tweak their mood on demand by the touch of a button.Nirvanic,right??I tend to think the word 'thync' was derived from the word sync 'cause of the relationship between 'th' and 's'
We’d all love quick and effective ways of amping up and thync is or will be the REAL DEAL.Despite a plethora of pharmaceutical methods being available i have this feeling that thync will take the shine once it hits the stores later in the year.
The module sticks to your temple, a shaped,rounded triangle of plastic with a replaceable strip of flat printed-circuitry plastic that navigates the side of your head down to the base of your skull. The forehead and the neck piece generate impulses,controlled by the program you’ve loaded via a companion smartphone app, that actively jolt the neurons in
those two sensitive areas; these
programs generate mood shifts that
Thync calls “Vibes.” At present, there
are two sets of Vibes available: One
designed to produce relaxation, and
another designed to produce
alertness.-[SOURCE: (Jeff yang(qz.com) ]
So excited for this.But what gets me worried is the thought of the side effects associated with this wearable.The thought of electroshock theraphy gives me chills.Having electric current pass through my system.Damn! And also side effects like Untamed addiction and any other hidden side effects that may come with the wearable.I came across an article the author/publisher was talking of his first hand experience with the wearable.BELOW
Here is one experience of one Cherlynn Low an author at tomsguide.com with the brain-altering wearable.
"My brain zapped to change my mood, and I lived to tell the tale. At a private demo with Thync at CES 2015, I experienced a futuristic electroshock therapy aimed at making me feel better. It involved sitting with a small module attached to my forehead for 15 minutes
while electric currents passed through my nerves to my brain.
Since the product is still being finalized, Thync declined to let us photograph the prototype module nor describe its shape, offering only
screenshots of its app.
I arrived at the suite feeling emotionally distressed by personal matters (mostly my annoying boyfriend) and stressed out about the amount of work on my plate. As a Thync executive explained what the wearable really does,I was immediately keen to see if it could truly take my mind off my woes. A rep stuck the modules onto my head and neck and started a 15-minute Calm session (I picked Calm, but
Energy is an option).As the program started, dots on the controlling
smartphone app started to fill up while the nodes pulsed. I felt a prickling sensation as the current
passed through my skin. The reps told me to keep increasing the intensity of the current to the
point where it's just barely uncomfortable, using the app. They also instructed me to adjust the
current as soon as I got used to a level of intensity. We're curious what the voltage of the max dosage might be.Now what really frightened me was when i saw a ... [PAUSE]I will post the link after the post.Be sure to catch the whole experience.
Are wearables replacing smartphones?Maybe,maybe not but all i know that neither of the two can replace each other as one needs the other to work hand in hand.Like for instance,thync works hand in hand with a smartphone (app) for the 'CALM' and 'ENERGY' options.Cant wait for the wearable to hit the stores.Make sure to hit these buttons to stay updated
