Seems like it's tACS like the original device by Fischer Wallace

omer :
It is just the original device

Hadn't thought of VR and TACS though. Interesting concept

I agree with omer, I feel like they've simply repackaged their original device to make it sexier and to fit on a VR strap. Ending up raising $100k during a "Marketing Campaign" (because I doubt they needed the money to do the device in the first place).
Fisher Wallace Stimulator has one of the few Brain Stim Devices that received FDA Clearance - so I'm more confident than if it was random people.

"The result of years of scientific and clinical validation, Kortex" uses the same technology as our first generation wearable, the Fisher Wallace Stimulator", which was cleared by the FDA to treat anxiety, insomnia and depression."
"All studies performed using the Fisher Wallace Stimulator" used the same stimulation dosage as Kortex". "
That way they just open a new market segment, but keep (arguably) their scientific validation they did in previous studies, since it was on somewhat related topics (sleep & stress).

FDA clearance is not a proff of efficiency

But showing that they are more serious than some small kickstarters trying to "ride" the buzzwords.

Is this a new website on brain stim? (focusing on tDCS)

jmhorschig :
looks very pragmatic, the only content is their twitter feed... ;)
seems to be fairly new though

Hey sydneyneurotechx, how do the Halo phones feel?

And do they have a focus and/or accelerated learning setting?
