The stimulation is described as electrical “neurosignaling” (note that this is not the same as Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation). When you use an energy vibe, the Thync is thought to stimulate the trigeminal ophthalmic and maxillary cranial nerves while a calm vibe affects the trigeminal ophthalmic cranial nerve and the C2 and C3 cervical spinal nerves. Icky drawing of the trigeminal nerve (the ophthalmic nerve is the top branch in yellow and below that is the maxillary nerve) The puck applies a current of a few milliamps between the opposite ends of the strip at varying power and frequency levels and … and we’ll get to that in a minute. With a strip in place, you then initiate one of the appropriate programs - Thync calls these programs “vibes” - using a smartphone app (iOS 8+ or Android Lollipop or Marshmallow are supported) which communicates with the puck via Bluetooth. The strips are guaranteed for single use only though you can use them multiple times with the risk that they may become detached or simply not provide a good contact (the Thync system detects and warns you when contact is lost). If your goal is to be energized, you use a “energy” strip that reaches just far enough place the electrode behind your right ear if the goal is relaxation, you use a “calm” strip which is long enough to allow the electrode to be placed on the back of your neck. The Thync (made by Thync) is a small, lightweight, triangular, rechargeable “puck” that you snap onto an adhesive electrode “strip” and affix over your right eye (it makes you looks vaguely piratical). Want a better way to deal with stress and low energy? I have an intriguing answer: You need to Thync. How about when it’s 2pm and you’re flagging and there’s the prospect of having to pull an all-nighter to roll out the new whatever-it-is you’re wrestling with? Do you turn to endless cups of coffee or, the gods forfend, do you down endless energy drinks until you have a caffeine high that makes you vibrate like a tuning fork? Do you find it hard to chill without a drink or three in the evening? Yep, that’s pretty common when you’re dealing with the kind of pressures IT professionals are often under.Īnd then what about when you get up in the morning? Are you low on energy?
