If it meets all the claims, looks really very interesting... how many people you have testing this and how long you should use it on a daily basis?

@narek_vardanyan We currently have around 200 active users and PLatoWork has been tested on more than 500 individuals. The recommended use time is 30 minutes per day or one full session.

@lynne_hale are there any reports of the tests you made?

@gevorg_poghosyan Our pilot studies show increased creativity when using the PlatoWork headset, but the results of the study need to reproduced in a sham-controlled setup. Our preliminary datas from our cognitive studies show, that PlatoWork increases working memory and logic thinking compared to sham. There are no reports yet, but a lot of independent studies have been published about tDCS technology and cognition. You can find a few of them of our website http://platoscience.com/science/

Hi Product Hunt. I'm the CEO of PlatoScience; a Copenhagen based team of neuroscientists, engineers, designers and doctors dedicated to letting you unleash the full potential of your brain in a safe and simple way. Together we’ve created PlatoWork - a wearable designed to boost your cognitive performance. PlatoWork uses a safe and well-known technology called tDCS, which adds a small electric current to help you accelerate processes such as learning, focusing and creative problem solving. The headset is a plug’n’play device, controlled by an app (iOS/Android) It might sound like science fiction, but actually it’s just science 😊 Please let me know if you have any questions!

I need this in my life. But before that, i have a question. How often I can use your product each day and how much time should be between the sessions?

@lusine_navasardyan We do not recommend to use the headset more than 30min per day. This is not because there are any known complications with more than 30 minutes usage, but because this is the current norm within studies of tDCS.

How does the compare to Halo Sport 2? I don't see any benefits, it just seems more expensive.

@nicholas_jaber2 PlatoWork and Halo Sport both use tDCS technology, but where Halo targets the area of the brain known as the motor cortex, which is responsible for movement, PlatoWork stimulates the regions of the brain responsible for higher cognitive functions such as memory, concentration and creativity. More specifically, PlatoWork stimulates the Prefrontal cortex and and area known as Precuneus. Both Halo and PlatoWork can accelerate your learning process, but depending on whether the skill you're trying to acquire is physical or cognitive, the activity in your brain will be different.

Wow, just wow @lynne_hale PlatoWork looks great! We would like to offer you to publish an interview about your device and business in general at https://startupradius.com/ please PM me at paul@startupradius.com for more details if interested

@lynne_hale Great! will be waiting for your email then

Why is it important to use only 30 minutes a day?
Lynne Hale
Maker
@amelia_clark There are no known complications with more than 30 minutes usage, but we recommend this limit as it is the current norm within studies of tDCS. You can read more about it here http://platoscience.com/science/

@lynne_hale hmm interesting, thanks
Gevorg Poghosyan

it claims to solve a real problem I have, and it seems a real solution. I think I'll try one!

Pros:

Based on the researches: I guess it works :)

Cons:

didn't try it myself yet :)
