Thync

If you are a fan of negative-ion emitters and Power Balance bracelets, be prepared to be excited; Thync has finally launched their triangle shaped, mood changing wearable device. The headpiece, previously shown at CES, applies tiny pulses of electricity to your temple in order to induce either a calm or energized feeling. The gadget is controlled by an app on your phone via Bluetooth LE. Perhaps we are being a bit too harsh towards the $299 device, after all most of the publications which have had (extremely limited) hands-on time with Thync had positive experiences. That said, our skepticism radar starts going off when the neurological research paper to support the claims made by Thync states: “All authors are shareholding employees of Thync, Inc.” But maybe we are just jaded New Yorkers.
