The principle of operation of the gadget consists in the effect of an electric current on the parotid branch of the vagus nerve through an electrode located inside the ear canal. The stimulation frequency is 120 Hz, the pulse width is less than 1 millisecond, the current is 4-6 mA. The technology is non-invasive, and the impact itself is painless for the user. However, as a result of such stimulation, the functioning of the parasympathetic nervous system is normalized, which helps to improve human well-being.

A convenient solution for non-invasive stimulation of the vagus nerve based on headphones can help millions of people more easily cope with anxiety and other psychological challenges of our time, says Neiry CEO Alexander Panov.

In the future, the developers plan to use Neiry Buds for medical purposes. The gadget, in particular, can help fight depression, epilepsy and other disorders.^[1]
