EEG-Powered Sleeping Earbuds

NextSense SmartBuds Respond According to Brain Activity

The NextSense SmartBuds are an ultra-advanced tech accessory for helping consumers to get better sleep by harnessing the power of electroencephalogram (EEG) sensors.

The earbuds utilize six EEG sensors to keep an eye on brain activity and will provide audio according to whether the user is in the light, deep or REM sleep cycle. The earbuds will thus stimulate the brain and precisely help to shift the sleeper towards deep sleep to help maximize the person's ability to get the most restorative sleep possible.

The NextSense SmartBuds will deliver up to nine hours of battery life per charge with the accompanying charging case offering four additional charges. The earbuds will allow users to fall asleep to their choice of preselected audio, music, audiobooks or white noise.
