Ben Greenfield discusses a neck-stimulation device that claims to improve cognition and stress response. Two minutes of neck stimulation produces effects comparable to 30-60 minutes of ear stimulation, with reported gains of 40% faster learning, 50% better recall, and 50% longer focus.
2 minutes on the neck versus 30–60 minutes in the ear.
40% faster.
50% better.
50% longer.
What if you can get in two minutes of stimulation on the neck what it takes between 30 and 60 minutes to get in the ear? And then one other big piece of the puzzle is, based on the scale, how long does it take to get the same effect? And this is the big thing is we live in a life that is like we're on the go, right? Everything is kind of rush, rush, rush. Time is money you mentioned earlier. So what if you can get in two minutes of stimulation on the neck what it takes between 30 and 60 minutes to get in the ear? What's easier to plug into your daily life?
They were able to learn 40% faster, and their recall months later was 50% better on what they had learned. It's for better sleep. It's for all the things that you want, and cognitive enhancement. And what we found was that when people were tested and used this device regularly, they were able to maintain focus for 50% longer, they were able to learn 40% faster, and their recall months later was 50% better on what they had learned. So, I mean, we're not talking about small percentages here. We're talking about a significant, you know, a significant improvement in cognitive function.
